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."

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Thanks, Sox. Mmmmm, that recipe looks delicious. I wonder if it would work well without the green peppers? Might be worth a shot.

He does. And he likes to create funny sentences like that one.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm reading the "Divergent" series and I'm on "Allegiant".

Uh .... what? I'm so confused.

I'm not very far into it but still, huh?

Yeah ... this is kind of nutty. Like, why change narration style all of a sudden?

I wonder if she had had more time to ruminate if the book wouldn't have been better.

OK, so msbelle back in... November? December? helped me go through a lot of books and decide if I really needed them. I had too many books (and nowadays have many of them as ebooks).

But now I have piles and piles (literally--they've been on the floor of the guest room since then) that I don't know what to do with. I suspect they're not really worth much, even though there's lots of them--none of them are especially rare or anything. They're just a lot of scifi, fantasy, and a few thriller/romances. Mostly paperback, a few hardback. So...what do I do with them? I hesitate to donate them to Goodwill or wherever, just because I feel like there's got to be a better solution. As a kid/teenager I would've KILLED to get a huge number of books like this, but I don't think I know any locally who would want them? (And these days they can get them electronically, right?)
