Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

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."

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

Eesh, my 13 yo is a superhero veteran, and now he's way into Deadpool. but those are not something I would start out a newbie on.

What about Runaways? It's not a graphic novel per se, becausse it's on-going but you can get it in book-form collections. It's quite good, and Whedon did a run for it.

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

Thanks Strix. That might work.

In case I can't grab the Runaways today, are there any graphic novels within the Marvel Universe, specifically Ultron or Avengers related that would also be good for a 13 year old? I'm sure he will be seeing the movie.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'm not sure this qualifies as "literary" but it was either here or Bitches: were-cuttlefish m/m erotica. The reviewer was disappointed that there were no tentacles involved.

Has anyone read the complete "All Souls Trilogy" which started with A Discovery of Witches?

I just finished the first book and have some mixed feelings, and I'm curious what people thought if they completed the complete trilogy?

I've been trying to read Discovery , but it's not very gripping.

Hey. New board.

My wife LOVED discovery. I found it... problematic and a little boring but not without merit. She was less fond of the second book, which I found much more interesting. Less stupid romantic plot line (though more sex, if that helps/hinders anything) and far more historical knowledge for the sake of it. I never bothered to read the third one, but I think she liked it better than the second.

She describes it as Twilight for smart people, which, okay. I enjoyed some of the bits for smart people but never quite made it past the twilight parts in my head.

I couldn't get through the kindle sample of Discovery.
