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)
'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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."
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.
P-C, I thought you read the book before? Am I wrong.
You are wrong. I read Sharp Objects years ago, though.
oh! well, you are in for a treat!
Should I have any interest in seeing a press screening of Divergent if I'm not planning on reading the book?
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.

Hah. I feel like ALL the YAs have this "Must be a trilogy!!" thing going on, and it irks. There are some that would be so much better as stand-alones (...though I get that marketing-wise that's not as worth it), or at most with a sequel.
