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

Oh, yes, I have to be careful with those

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Molly Millions

I think she had a substantial role in Mona Lisa Overdrive but it has been so long since I read that, I don't remember the details.

She does. (I can nerd out about Gibson anytime (even though he kept calling Highway 101 "The 101" in his latest, Agency)).

Oooh! I was tempted to by Pattern Recognition when I saw it used the other day. Should I get it?

Pattern Recognition is so good! The only reason not to get it if you actually already have a copy you forgot about…

not your mom's socks.

Yes but if you wind up with a Buzz Rickson jacket, don't blame us...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

augh ... turns out there are serious problems with Goodreads reviews. I've never used it, but I know people here do, so ....

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Pattern Recognition is my 2nd favorite Gibson book beside Neuromancer.

It also is the best portrayal of an online fan community that I have ever read.

I also had no idea The Parasol Protectorate series had a manga version. And Rem does the art.
