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."

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

I have pre-ordered the sequel! The whole actor who plays Cupid writing AU fic where Cupid is an actor [as if Misha Collins was writing The French Mistake fic] business was just meta-ridic enough to be highly amusing to me

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The whole thing seemed very Buffista-oriented - fanfic, cosplay, etc. Looking forward to the sequel - the Cupid actor seemed like a fun character to read about (and I think I got hit with autocorrect ... it was the SmartBitches ... sigh).

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I'm so happy to know that I'm not the only person here who liked Spoiler Alert!

I figure I can be upfront with my sometimes trashy reading choices ... but this wasn't trashy and it did seem like something my 'ffistas would enjoy (and, in re autocorrect, to quote a comment I saw, "it's NEVER duck").

Oh, Toddson, that's the Good Place extension that I still have on my browser (and forgot about) changing bitch to bench. I have gotten too used to it!

So with that extension, it IS "duck"?

Do I want to read Lord Foul's Bane? It's marked down to $2.99 and I recognize the title as Something I've Heard Of but that's about it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I would not recommend it, personally. It's very Sad White Guy and his Important Problems.
