You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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."

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.

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

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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

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.

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.

Well, I quite liked the first book. The second NSM, and the third I haven't read, given the reviews I've seen. But I'd enjoy seeing the movie, of the first one. Plus it sounds like they got a good cast.

Yeah, not wanting to be Mockingjay'ed, I've already decided not to read any of them.
