Not so much "literary," but I just read the last Sookie Stackhouse book (the real last novel, not the "coda"), and the terrible reviews on Amazon are HILARIOUS.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Tep, not sure if you missed it, but can you e-mail me your address so I can send you your signed copy of Shades ? If I can find packing materials. Sorry it's taken so long!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh, thanks for reminding me! I saw your email (without opening it) when I was getting ready to go out the door or something, and then my brain fell out.
Will do presently.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Jesse, I may have to look those up. I was … unimpressed.

I didn't care much about this last one, but I don't know how much I've actually enjoyed the last....five? Although I'm 100% on board with the romantic resolution, if not 100% with how it was handled.

Epic, DH is reading it now and he's all "STATECRAFT" and So many names. He's loving it.

Totally! It was so not what I was expecting from the blurb but it was a great surprise how GOOD he was at the job so quickly! And the story's just so INTERESTING. Though the names were at times a bit much - so much flipping back to the notes in the back! And I agreed with what both of you said you'd have liked to see more of, with the addition - I'd love to watch as his relationship with the kids continues to grow. He finally got a family! But he's accidentally sort of the patriarch! But he and Idra were bonding! And the girls just adored him! Good stuff!
