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."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

(Remove "to the" in their tag and you'll get their old board name.)

Edited for pronouns. :)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Yes, exactly. ;)

Because books.

I'd blame my brain fog on quarantine, but I'd be lying. Also, hi!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hi, esse!!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's like an entire "essay" on who they are now, in mildly cryptic epigrammatic form.

Or a statement of kinetic energy, as the Latin verb "to be". ;)

Did anyone read Little Fires Everywhere? Anyone watching the series on Hulu? I'm really disappointed in the adaptation.

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

I haven't read it but I'd be curious to hear what you think the adaptation got wrong.

Because books.

They added plot points left and right, and changed the motivation and action of several characters. What's on screen is much more Shocking! Suburban! Soap! Opera! than the novel, which was not as frenetic but said plenty about the nature of parents and children, and specifically motherhood, without all the added histrionics.

I only have the last episode to watch, I think, and it's been pretty much rage-watching since the second episode.
