Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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."

Punishingly Intricate

I really liked Zone One but I read it so that probably makes a difference, especially pace wise. Also, not having much if a personality is a big part of the narrator's idea of himself, especially at the beginning.

This is the first month in a long time that I'm skipping book club. I just couldn't force myself to read Kerouack (Dharma Bums). I understand it's better than On the Road, but still.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I found Zone One so flat.

I liked On the Road, but it did not fill me with desire to read more Kerouac.

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

Oh, I've heard of that one, Gris. Gets mentioned in zombie fic conversations all the time.

Hey. New board.

That's cool to know. I used to teach with the author. Nice guy.

Went to the library and it seemed to be closed but the doors were open so I grabbed two audiobooks like a ninja: The Giver read by Ron Rifkin (aka SLOANE) and The Night Circus read by Jim Dale.

Did you read Night Circus already, PC?

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Ooooh, I look forward to seeing whether P-C thinks it's a great book or the greatest book.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Dale narration though.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

A book (for younger readers) about the worst pet EVER.
