Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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."

That's weird. Lemme try again!

If that *still* doesn't yield anything (it's coming from a .net address) let me know and I'll break into my work account. After roundly cursing my isp.

Because books.

Would it be easier for me to email you? Is your profile address good?

Tried my other account. I swear. (I don't have a profile address up cause I'm paranoid that way.)

I just tested my local email and it is sending to at least my work, so you might want to see if I'm being filed as junk or gmail is being a shit. Dangit, I WILL send you this book!

Got it and backflung!

Yay! It worked!

OK, I'm enjoying paging through my books online as much as I am sitting on the couch, reading the titles from across the room. Or organizing them in a shelf by topic. This is a sickness, right?

Shut.up.

I won't tag at home. Too slow with the dialup (though the isbn scanning is remarkably fast! ) so I do that at work when... I should be working. So far, tagging has started with "what I've not read" which is actually a boon. Makes me want to read those books! But looking at the titles, it is interesting to find tendencies I wouldn't have noticed before. I know about the foreign affairs, mid east/central europe/USSR-Russia stuff. The heavy latina lit thing is a revelation. I knew I identified with that, found a home in it, but... I really love that stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The member library still contains 5402 books. I am unduly irritated by that.
