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.

I'm reading the Nov/Dec issue of Asimov's (it actually came out last week which seems way too early in October for the November issue of anything, but so did Ellery Queen do I guess that is just how things are) and just got to On Books which this month is Norman Spinrad. I am ambivalent about Spinrad at best, I really liked Child of Fortune when I read it but most of his otherstuffthatI read on the strength of that didn't like so much and he seems kind of damn-kids-offa-my-lawn as a reviewer, but I did read this one, spending the first half trying to remember if I like Harry Turtledove (I don't think I have an opinion on him, ultimately) and the second half trying to figure out if I really don't like Greg Bear or if I have him confused with some other author I don't like (I googled his bibliography and I am pretty sure one of his books is the one that I really disliked so I think it *is* him i dislike although possibly unfairly, sp figuring thatvout feels like a win!) but in the middle he makes a sweeping statement that there are a lot of deus ex machina endings in SF and fantasy "such dramatic failures even tending to dominate Hugos and Nebulas" and I have no idea what he is talking about. It's very likely that I haven't read enough award nominated/winning stuff to judge. It's also very possible that I would not be bothered by or necessarily notice such "dramatic failures" in the same way as Spinrad. But I thought maybe some of you would have opinions?
