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 got a call from my uncle this morning thanking me for the books I sent to my cousin and her kids. He said I managed to replace some of the favorites that were lost in the fire. So excellent advice, people! Thank you!
