Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Right? I want to read it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

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

Oh, very nice. Thanks!

Written by one of my oldest and dearest friends.

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

Oh, I liked that one, aurelia!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

That was a cracking good read.

I've been reading a bunch of the NPR book concierge books. A number of them I'd already read (mostly the romances) but there were a lot I hadn't. They've been slowly coming off hold and I'm reading them (or trying and giving up, as I did for Terra Nullius—I got about halfway through I think, if anyone wants to tell me there's an amazing twist? Besides the obvious one)

I also re-read "that inevitable Victorian thing", which I kinda loved and want more stories in that universe. And just got "odd one out", which I really was loving until about the last 5 pages. I didn't like the ending one bit and perhaps not for the reason some might think (anyone else read it?)

Christmas book update -- someone else got my cousin that one book, and I still want to read it! This is the problem with doing all your shopping in book stores: I got many books for Christmas, but still have a long list of other ones I want!

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Not finished yet, but I impulsively bought Susan Orlean's "The Library Book" and I think Buffistas would like it.
