Two nods! Whoo!!!
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."
Congrats, hippocampus!
Congratses!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
So many books, and even now, so little time.
Yay! Congrats!
First, congratulations!
Second, a question for the Dresden Files readers. I've just started the 3rd in the series. The first two I thought were a bit heavy on the non-stop brutalization of poor Harry. Seriously, dude has sustained a whole lot of bodily injury and peril. So I am hoping there might be a bit more balance to come. Like maybe 50% of the book is Harry getting beat up by various entities or bad guys instead of 90% Harry getting beat up? Maybe some more time spent on investigations and interpersonal relationships and less on broken body parts?
Just wondering if maybe I should turn my attention to something a bit gentler. I do enjoy the actual prose, but am finding the stories a bit too one note.
Yeah, no, Harry pretty much gets his entire ass kicked over and over by like a gazillion different entities, both human and non-human, throughout all the books. (When he's not describing sex in a really off-putting way.)
Sorry to hear that, but there is plenty in my to read queue that isn't all kick ass all the time.
