Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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."

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Is there an edition that includes Rice's flamewars with Amazon.com reviewers?

Matt, that would be an amazing edition.

You are all right, I would regret not getting it. Bookshop called, order placed, amazon order cancelled. Vampire fangirl status: ridiculous.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

You're supporting local businesses, clearly.

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

Local to somebody, anyway.

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

I just finished reading Landline by Rainbow Rowell. I know people here have liked her books. So, I was really hoping to enjoy it, but I just didn't. I thought it would be snarkier or funnier, but I mostly found it boring. I feel guilty because I was almost hoping for a (spoiler for the ending) tragic twist at the end, instead of the terribly predictable ending that the book had.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Huh, sj.

I read her earlier romance a few weeks ago, the one about the IT guy reading everyone's email at a newspaper. I enjoyed it; it's not complicated or surprising, but there's some nice character bits in it. It was just... nice.
