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."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Congrats Hippocampus!

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.
So proud of you, Hippocampus!

not your mom's socks.
thanks so much -- this was kind of a shock because short stories and *this* short story -- I'm really happy though because the entire list is made up of amazing creative brains.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Literary Buffistas, I need some help coming up with recommendations for a 6th grader who is reading at a very advanced level and particularly loves fantasy. What are some more obscure books/series that I can recommend to him? I've already recommended:
- Lud-in-the-Mist
- Temeraire series
- Mortal Engines
- The Once and Future King
- A Wizard of Earthsea
- Watership Down
- Norse Mythology (Gaiman)
- The Name of the Wind
- Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
- Beowulf
- Graceling
...and he seems to have read almost all of them. He did say that he hadn't read Lud-in-the-Mist, then apparently he checked it out and read it this afternoon and says he liked it. He is a big Tolkien fan and also lists Malcolm Gladwell and Bertrand Russell (!) among the authors he's recently enjoyed reading. Edit: He also says he doesn't like science fiction. And also, he's 12, so I don't feel I can recommend books that have graphic sex scenes (so no Game of Thrones, for example).
Halp!
