Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.

Really sad news.

That is definitely such sad news.

Oh man, that's awful. And he had a young kid, too.

Fuck depression, too.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If I have not yet read The Book Thief (I know, I know), would it be a mistake to see the movie first?

Oh, false alarm -- it's only playing at 9:30pm, way too late for me. OK, next question: Which movie should I see, American Hustle or 12 Years a Slave ? I will also be seeing Inside Llewyn Davis on the same day, if that makes a difference. (Movie Day!)

I always think it's better to see the movie first, because the book is probably better, and that way you won't be disappointed.
