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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Bronte sisters also had a Gothic world they played in before going "mainstream".
And it was basically Lord Nelson fanfic.
Also, Caterina Valente wrote a book about it: [link]

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
If one, say, asked a child by phone if they would like fast food (as one was getting it on the way home). And said child replied "sure". Would you expect the child to BE HOME when you arrived around a normal dinnertime?
I have not yet decided if it is worth the belly ache to eat double McD fries.

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.
I have Riverland in my hands! Figuratively speaking, of course, or typing would be tougher. Not sure when I can dig in, because brain. But I have it!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm currently reading Mary Robinette Kowal's "Ghost Talkers" ... and I bring it up here because early on she introduces a character called Brigadier-General Lethbridge-Stewart.
