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."

OMG... Of course Sherman Alexie's "Indian Killer" guarantees I see Hillerman as an insecure, wanna-be bedwetter because that's what his Hillerman-type is like...it really has influenced my view of him. What's a tango pirate?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

What's a tango pirate?

Like a stevedore. Only with a rose in his teeth.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And better footwork.

Some of the tango pirates were really privateers for the dancing queen.

OK, I know a lot of you like the Honor Harrington books. I've been feeling in a very space-opera mood lately, and picked up the first one at the used bookstore the other day, just cracked it open.

Someone please tell me it gets better. I mean, I'm only ten pages in, but...dude. Empathic tree cat? Seriously?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Intelligent empathic tree cat...

The first book isn't too bad. I think the second is better.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Yeah, that's about as far as I got before I decided I'd be better off just rereading the Vorkosigan series.
