I liked On the Road, but it did not fill me with desire to read more Kerouac.
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

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."

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?

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.

I'm really looking forward to it after all the comments here!

I loved his Harry Potter and Pushing Daisies narration, so.
I just started The Giver and I can't believe I never read this when I was a kid. I don't think I did? I feel like it was in my house so maybe I did and I just have no memory of it.

I didn't read The Giver when I was a kid because I was 21 when it was published, but IIRC that is not your reason.
