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."

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh, Toddson, is that the sequel to Dread Nation by Justina Ireland? That was really creative and horrifying.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I think it is.

Now tagless for your comfort.

It is.

This may or may not be the place for it, but there seems to be a kickstarter for The Children's Illustrated Clausewitz. Although I think many children are born knowing the essentials.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So, I didn't really mean to read The Heir Affair in 24 hours but here we are. It's fun! Partly for the nostalgia, if that's the right word, for a world in which Royal Family sex scandals would be big news. I went into it thinking it'd be a rom-com but it's more of a soap opera

Our wings are not tired.

Fun is good!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I was thinking I had read this but when I went to Goodreads to look it up, it wasn't at all familiar. Then I realized I'm thinking of The Eyre Affair, which is not the same thing at all. So weird that I managed to fall victim to a homonym, even though the words are written!

Oh, funny! Do you hear what you are reading in your head? I do, so I can see me mixing those two up - I think it might be even more likely now that you've pointed it out...

Apparently I do - I never really thought of it before!
