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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh shit, I have those! But not an e-reader, but it's good to remember in case of emergency.

The e-book versions are very useful when searching for previous mentions of "Gentleman Jole".

Well, I finished The Expanse (now I have to wait for more, woes! But I can rewatch the series so far with my newly acquired knowledge of backstories, etc, so that should be fun), and I am pretty sure I have the CD that came with Cryoburn somewhere...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Connie, Cordelia IS it ... pretty much.

Ok, just came back from seeing Allegiant so naturally I read the Wikipedia entry for the book to see how it matched up and I guess the movie bears a passing resemblance to what I read there. But, given what I remember people here saying about it, maybe that's a good thing? In any case, for a non-reader, this movie was way more entertaining than the last one.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is it the final movie, or are they making one more?

The second movie is Ascendant. Really, the amazing thing is that I had no idea it was being split into two. My critic friend had to tell me there were two during the credits. For all the ridiculousness of the plot and world-building it seemed a complete story.

I remembered my mother got a Kindle for Christmas, and she's never used it! So now I can use it to re-read all the Vorkosigan books! Hooray.

I seem to have forgotten how to put material I have onto the kindle. Maybe I'll figure it out tomorrow. I know I've done it before, it can't be that hard.
