Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've just downloaded it and am looking forward to reading it. I love a lot of her books and hope this one stacks up to the ones I like.

I'm under a fair amount of stress - for once, not really related to the virus! - and I'm having problems reading anything new - I've been re-reading a lot, although I usually read new books on my e-reader.

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

I haven't started Slippery Creatures yet because I need to actually get shit done today. (Oh hey look, it's after 5! I can start reading now!)

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

I'm loading SC on my kindle now!

I've been reading magazines. It's been a lot easier to pick up and put down as my brain as been all over the place, struggling with longer reads.

This is why I've been reading YA and Star Trek novels...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Fanfic, y'all. Fanfic.

Yep yep. All of the above, and romance novels.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Fanfic, y'all. Fanfic.

Seriously all I've been reading for MONTHS. I have a pile of books from the library glaring balefully at me, and yet I am re-reading fanfic like it's my second job.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

So. Much. Fanfic.

Alllll the fanfic. So comforting. So soothing.

Thrive to spite them

I am just plowing away at fanfic. I keep staying in my comfort categories but that is all I'm reading.

Although I keep stumbling on stories that I didn't check to see if they were finished and getting really into something that hasn't been updated in years.
