I know I'm not ready. I think some day I might be? But not yet.

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."
Should I just embark on a lifetimes denial that the book exists?

I may join you in that.
I read it, being of the school of "rip that bandage off", cried at a few points, and then embarked on a re-read of all the witches' books, starting with Equal Rites. I do want to get a nice boxed set of the Aching series for Peanut.
I started. I was definitely not ready. But I don't think I can quit now.
Oh I would like to do that.
I finished. There were tears.

I just came to the realization the Granny Weatherwax would not approve of this plan.
I'm still not ready, but maybe sooner than I thought.
I wasn't ready. I should have waited.
I still have a significant backlog. Lack of sufficient reading time is working in my favor here.
I haven't read any of the Discworld books, but I'm looking forward to starting them. (I love soliciting opinions on where to start, because the ensuing discussion is WAY less contentious than "what's the best way to make scrambled eggs?" That discussion gets as fierce as the mayo vs. Miracle Whip debate.)
