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."

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.

That is kind of what I suspected, thank you for confirming
