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."

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 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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

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

There are literal tears streaming down my cheeks from suppressing a laughing fit over the scene with Nedry!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I used to use Sir Terry's original of that very first line in the philosophy link as a tagline here, to wit...

Make a man a fire and it'll keep him warm all night, but light a man afire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
