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."

There is so much brio in his sheer commitment to his many apparent lies that it's hard to avoid feeling delighted.
Nah. Not hard at all.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Of all the details (SO MANY DETAILS) in that whole fuckety-upety thing, the completely made up second doctorate before age 30 in Munchhausen studies was the most.
