Buffistas

Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

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."

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My second bedroom has three six-foot book cases. I have series I love (mostly still expanding) at eye level (upper shelves), arranged in series order (where appropriate). I have religious studies and literature on lower shelves, where I can sit on the floor and cross check things. I have reference stuff on middle shelves where they're easy to find and things I'm going to put on Bookmooch or sell double stacked in front of the less used reference stuff. I have Mount Toberead in a three foot shelf in the living room. Extended unemployment helped reduce that a bit, but not as much as I expected. Cookbooks and history are in a couple of other three footers in the living room (one of those also has my liquor and bar glasses). My bedroom has mostly series I loved ages ago (comfort reading), computer books that I should probably toss (outdated), and miscellaneous non-series books or books where I haven't decided if I'm going to pursue the series further.

I shelve kinda-sorta by subject matter/genre/author. Plus an entire bookcase of vampire books.

I don't think I'm going to be able to organize properly until I move.

Where I'm going to move them, I don't know.

I had to sell 800 LPs when Emmett was born to make room for him.

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

Just finished reading White Teeth, only 15 years after it came out!

That was fun. Could have been tighter, but I got a kick out of the way it all came together at the end. Sort of like a far less bloody-minded Martin McDonough.

Always Anti-fascist!

That was funny! Especially the Muslim group named KEVIN("We have an acronym problem.")

Loved the acronym problem, and how it became a running joke.

And the mouse escaped! Go mouse!

I could read more of Zadie Smith, but now I'm going to read a werewolf Marine romance by a friend of mine. And then maybe Kalpa Imperial, which I have heard good things of.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

OK, I just had to vent a little. Co-worker - young man, loves SFF - and it turns out he's never even HEARD of "Dune" ...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Mostly I just gaped and babbled ... told him, "may your crysknife chip and shatter" and sent him a wikipedia link.
