No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

Art Crawl!!!

I wanted the deluxe edition of Children of Hurin because of the Alan Lee illustrations but I realized that I couldn't afford it and the regular edition had the classic Tolkien map in it after all - so I got the regular edition.

Guess what? The regular edition is also illustrated by Alan Lee.

not your mom's socks.

Sparky suggested I visit over here to ask if anyone's read Vellum or Ink ? Still new to the multithread.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Finished Barrayar today.

Damn, that was good. Tense, though -- I was holding my breath for, like, the last 1/4 of the book. Good stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I finished a book too! Way too exciting, considering it's not exciting. I just read so rarely these days.

Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner. I have to admit, the shenanigans in Swordspoint sometimes went over my head, when they weren't primarily emotional. This one talks down to me more, and I can't say I don't appreciate it.

I think she did a good job of a clueless learning-her-way story without me feeling impatient or scornful. Katherine didn't know some things, and she was going to learn them, but I didn't dislike her or the author for it.

Didn't love the book, but I sure did enjoy it.

Oh, YEAH. I forgot you had mentioned that!

Damn, I love Cordelia.

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

She paid too much.

I do adore Cordelia. She's just awesome. Aral is too, of course.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

No way...I believe I did come close to writing Lethem/ Pelecanos once. Not sure if George would dig that...but it is *me*...as I recall they spent much more time fondling records than each other.(As well as being quite jealous of the time I spent with the other one.) But you just can't punk the leading crime writer in America...I'm sure you feel me on that. But I think they are both very cute.

Ok. Who wants to talk Flannery O'Connor? erika? Anyone? Bueller?
