We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

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."

Always Anti-fascist!

I think I liked the mixture of styles and stuff more than the story, Meara. It was cute, but I do sort of not like that, once you decide you've written a comic novel, you can throw the kitchen sink in too, because it's wacky and it doesn't have to make sense. The best stand-up does.

Since I listen to it while driving, I'm covered.

I think the audiobook be giving me an even more compelling experience than the print version because the readers are so good at bring the characters to life. They feel more like real people since I can hear them and their emotions.

I can't listen to books while I'm driving, I need that part of my brain to watch the road. I can't even really hold a conversation. The verbal processing centers take too much power when I'm in visual scan mode.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have trouble listening to books while I'm driving because paying attention to the road is the perfect level of focus to let the rest of my mind get some serious thinking get done. Going for a long drive to figure something out often works for me. So I'll get all caught up in whatever's going on in my head and miss a bunch of the book and rewinding is a pain. I do like having something to listen to while I drive, but it had best be something I don't care if I miss some of.

I do better with that when I have company in the car, funnily enough. I guess I'm focusing enough on interacting with another human that the balance shifts.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

If I'm driving, I can only listen to books I've read before; otherwise I get too caught up in the book rather than the driving, which is bad.
