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."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I got a worse score the second time I took the quiz.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

12 out of 15! I have no idea what I just succeeded at, but hey.

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

Second try 13/15. All the same questions. The ones I got wrong I got wrong the first time, and I knew I got wrong, but I couldn't remember how I had guessed before.

I figured that anything with a conjunction or any kind of clause was probably not Hemingway. It worked pretty well.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

12 out of 15. If the sentence had any personality at all, I picked children's book. t /not a Hemingway fan

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

14 out of 15. I think my favorite part was the little Papa Bear graphic.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Do I want to cancel my amazon pre-order of Prince Lestat and special-order a copy from the NOLA bookstore that will have autographed editions? I am dithering.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yes, you do. Or you're just going to be stalking eBay after the fact.
