Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Gary just got me the first two Murderbot novellas for Hanukkah. (I had mentioned to him that I put the first one on hold at the library as an ebook)

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
That is a very true statement. I'm wondering who else you met there - the ones I know are Didi at Nova, Rani at Graff, and Gili at Utz.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I picked up the first couple of Murderbot novellas on some $1.99 deal ages ago and then promptly went off and read other things. I finally started the first on in November and proved the efficacy of daily deal prices within a couple of weeks as I snapped up and plowed through all of them within weeks. It was rather nice to get caught up in a new world—I had a lot of trouble getting into anything new over the summer and into fall.
I also have The Goblin Emperor in my TBR pile. It sounds like a good thing to unearth over the holidays.

He is great too (though I don't know him as much as I know Didi).
