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."

Damn, first Bo Diddley and now this. Somebody's picking off my personal heroes.
I loved The Chronicles of Prydain as much as I loved anything in my childhood.

Because books.
Wait, Bo Diddley died?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Somebody's picking off my personal heroes.
He was 83. I don't think he was picked off so much as went off. It's a good old age.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's time for the annual "crap, I have to get my dad a birthday present" post. Anyone have book recommendations in the sort of non-fiction, historical or political areas?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
What area of history or politics? Serious or satire?

Either. I've given him a Molly Ivins book before. He's a leftie like me, obviously.

Hmm. What about a collection of Sarah Voewll essays? Combine history and leftie politics? And she's a fun writer to read/

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America is very good.
