Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

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

I think Wee Free Men (the first Tiffany Aching book) is as good a place as any to start Discworld. It is a YA/children's book, but it has the patented humor and heart, plus a young girl as the protagonist. Crivens!

I'm listening to Mort today; the only thing wrong with it is that it's not Stephen Briggs reading, but Nigel Planer. Planer is ok, but he's not as good as Briggs.

My faux-son's name is Steven Briggs. I always blink when I see Stephen Briggs and wonder "Stevie, what is this secret life of yours?"

Because books.

Thanks, everyone! I think that sounds like a good starting point, Consuela.

not your mom's socks.

Crivens! indeed. I love those four books to pieces.

And also several (all) the others.

Robin McKinley is wonderful.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I love Robin McKinley, as well ... although that particular book might call for a trigger warning.

Part of my post-Hubby life is to glean his books that I'm not interested in out of the library. As I gain shelf space, I'm finding my old books and giving them room to breathe. It's rather cool to see shelves filling up with my mind's things.

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