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"

Is THAT where Chuck Tingle gets his titles?

The Diary of a Modest Widow

Probably a companion to The Diary of a Naughty Footman. I hope they crossover and give us some of the same events from different viewpoints

In case any of you are Elizabeth Peters completists - there's a not previously published Amelia Peabody story in the Nov/Dec Ellery Queen

The Princess of Heartache - that sounds like something I might have written as a teen

Was it in matter that someone mentioned the new Penric and Desdemona story? I enjoyed it but not as much as some of the others, it felt very brief and a bit confusing on the “why” theologically

I’m reading it right now (was it Natter? I forget) and will be ready to discuss soon.

Hm. Yeah. Death magic seems more complicated than I previously supposed. Theologically.

Trying to remember when we've seen it before, and I'm pretty sure we have but I can't remember in what story. Whether that would clarify anything I don't know.

I DO know I'm still in the market for a Penric/Paladin crossover. Or Chalion/St of Steel. Five gods and White Rat. Whatever. Someone get on that.
