My 92 year old Mom has been reading Gone Girl. She has been laughing a lot and seems to consider it dark comedy. Thoughts?
Fred: Oh my God! Angel, you're…cute! Angel: Fred, don't! Fred: Oh, but the little hands! And the hair! Angel: Hey! You're fired.

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."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
A lot of it is kind of funny. Until it's not.

Lots of it IS very darkly funny.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The movie was also pretty funny.

Sounds like I will have to put it on my list.

Hey. New board.
It's the kind of dark comedy that you're not 100% sure it's okay to be ruefully chuckling at but you do it anyway. I'd definitely put it in that category, heavy on the dark.

Because books.
What Gris said. And I loved it.

I’m watching George R. R. Martin (who is not home writing), live on Tumblr right now.

Oh, hey, they’re going to let Tumblr users submit questions. I doubt he’ll answer my question, though: How many words did you write today?
