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."

Our wings are not tired.

Sounds like classic don't read the comments territory. This is why I am grateful if I am looking for reviews and find someone I know in Goodreads with comments.

So the above made me do a threadsuck to see if people here had ever discussed my current light entertainment choice, the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. There was one mention, from Ginger. Fortunately the experience reminded me of the joy of seeing her library and the joy of Ginger hugs, but yeah, that heart pinch.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'm currently reading Space Opera by Catherynne M. Valente ... it's kind of a hoot so far. It was inspired by her love of the Eurovision contest, which might give you an idea of the WTF-ery.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

OMG I loved that book so much. The audiobook is awesome, and amps up the H2G2-ness to eleven.

(The audiobooks of her "Girl Who Sailed to Fairyland etc etc" series are not awesome, sadly - she narrates them herself and does not do her own writing justice.)
