I'm so happy to know that I'm not the only person here who liked Spoiler Alert!
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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."

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
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

I'm pretty sure I read most of that series (if it's the one I'm thinking of ... possibly another by the same author). Offhand, I'd say avoid it.
