Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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.

Yeah. It's short for Margo, if I remember right.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ah, that makes sense.

I like the woman reading Amy more than the guy reading Nick. She's got the more fun part so far, though.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

P-C, I thought you read the book before? Am I wrong.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

ooh! I saw a book in the store a while ago - "Apocalypse Cow" - about (you guessed it) zombie cows. (P-C reminded me because, you know, COW)

Also, in sort-of literary news, Tom and Lorenzo have a book out. Nowhere near as much fun as their website ... I skimmed through the first couple chapters and it seems more sad and cynical than snarky and funny. They're appearing at a local bookstore to read, answer questons, and sign books.

You are wrong. I read Sharp Objects years ago, though.

Should I have any interest in seeing a press screening of Divergent if I'm not planning on reading the book?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm in the middle of Allegiant, and I wonder if these might not make better movies than books.

Which isn't a definitive answer, but I do think it's a generally interesting story, and the elder portion of the cast should be good.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Four looks hunky. (That's all I got.)

t edit Okay, I just looked at the IMDB page -- Kate Winslet is Jeanine Matthews??? I'm more intrigued now.
