Buffistas

Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

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."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

and two from the brother (whose name is evading me at the moment)

Alex.

And the second is Tricks for Free

Oh we are in such Dire Straits.

And then we get two Sarah books

Not sure how I feel about this. My biggest problem with the second book was that when they went to her POV, Sarah was too human in her thoughts. I know Sarah is an anomaly like her adoptive mother, but I really didn't get that I was reading the thoughts of a very different species than ours.

THEN I believe we get Alice in the underworld looking for Thomas

This, however, should be kickass.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm not exactly an unbiased source (I beta-read much of this), but The Invisible Library is a book that I think many Buffistas will appreciate.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Oooh, that looks interesting, Anne!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hugo nominees were announced. With a quick skim, the only idiocy that looks like it's been nominated is one of V-- D--'s blog posts.

I wish. Actually, the entire short story, graphic story, pro artist, fanzine, fancast, and related work sections are RP; also all but one of novella, novelette, fan artist, fan writer, and new writer.

My one consolation is that Naomi, Nora, and Ann all made the final list for novels. Go them! And Nnedi Okorafor was nominated for a novella, which is also great.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

I've actually read 3 of the Best Novel nominees which is a first for me! The Fifth Season (took me a bit to get into the world building, but it blew my mind!), Uprooted (loved!) and Seveneves (loved the first half, strongly liked the second half).

"Social Justice Warriors Always Lie"? Wtf? How is anyone supposed to take this shit seriously? I mean, really. Ridiculous.

Punishingly Intricate

I'm so not involved in that world so this may be a dumb question but "RP"?? Real people? Rotten potatoes?

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

Rabid Puppies.

As opposed to the Sad Puppies, who started the shenanigans in the first place.

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