I've come to think of Dresden very much as leveling up in a combat-oriented video game
Never thought of it that way before, but that's exactly it.
Book: I believe I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship. Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.

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."

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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Seconding that Dresden is much better in audiobook form.

I really enjoyed the Dresden Files up till Changes. At that point I ran out of steam and haven't been back.

Unrelatedly I've been thinking of sharing the reading lists from the genre classes I'm teaching... if anyone's interested?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I would be extremely interested in a buffista's reading lists.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I saw that Tor is offering a free sampler of some of their books. I think it may just be excerpts from the books, but it's free reading material.

I started the audiobook for Side Jobs today.
