Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

Because books.

I want Deena to redesign my website now. That was awesome.

I'm reading The Prestige right now (which Sail sent me for my birthday and totally surprised me!) and really liking it. I think having seen the movie is taking the edge off some of the reveals that the author is clearly working up to, but there are so many interesting plot differences, it hardly matters. Really loving it so far.

Really loving it so far.

That makes me very happy. I still haven't wathced the blinking movie despite the fact I ordered it from amazon and have had it for at least a month. I'm hoping it's a lot better than The Illusionist.

I actually liked The Illusionist better. But they're very different movies.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I just finished The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Damn, that was a cool book . It looks giant and think and slightly intimidating - esp since it is a kid's book. But there are lots of drawings - and the story gets more and more intricate as it goes along. I love that the reason for all the drawings is perfectly clear by the end of the book.

HAs anyone read MArk Anderson's Shakespeare by Another Name? It looks really interesting; his website has podcasts on it, and they are pretty interesting. And it's gotten some excellent reviews.
