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."

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I had him as a writing teacher one semester. I rather got the idea he wanted to be Raymond Carver.

Always Anti-fascist!
He does. I mean, I even like his work(though I'm not sure what he means in the quote) but he is a total Carver worshipper. And I wish he would write one thing that didn't make me feel like crying in my beer and shit.

I finished The Book Thief -- it got tough toward the end because I knew something awful would happen, and I wanted to put it off. Sadly, the movie isn't playing anywhere near here.
And instead of jumping right to Rose Under Fire, I'm going back to The Snow Child.
