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."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

RIP.

My horrible first thought was, "Oh, so that's why there's going to be a Broadway show."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I said to my coworker, do you think she really only died just now?

Umberto Eco, RIP.

(Light a candle for your elderly literary icons.)

Cool musicians, actors, and writers. Or maybe God's just picking out candidates for a colony somewhere else.

How do you explain Scalia, then?

God has a sense of humor. Or enjoys chaos in elections. It would explain Trump.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Tom, you are hilarious and brilliant

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have been braced for Harper Lee for a while now, but Umberto Eco is hitting me kind of hard. He's the reason I know that there is a field of semiotics! I guess it's kind of good that I have so many of his books still to get to.
