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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Did anyone enjoy the Great Brain books? I re read those awhile back and they were quite dated, but not all that bad as far as offending my sensibilities today. Was Mercer Mayer the illustrator? My favorite was always the book about the little brother "Me and My Little Brain."
Loved the Great Brain books, including the mostly forgotten Great Bain at the Academy which was one of my first introductions to the Boarding School genre.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Congratulations, hippocampus!
