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."

One of the like, three books I kept when I pared down my collection many years ago! So good.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Uhura's Song was what introduced me to Janet Kagan. I am a fan of all her work.

She was one of the first authors I looked for online, back in '97. She posted some nice winter snowfall pictures on her web site, so I sent her a few of mine, and we exchanged a few emails from time to time after that.

If you haven't read Hellspark or Mirabile, I recommend them even more highly than Uhura's Song.

I bought Hellspark last time you recommended it, I think, dcp, but I haven’t read it yet. And I have a sample of Mirabile to remind me get it eventually

I think Uhura's Song is the one where Chekov complains, "All doctors are wampires."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I got Mirabile for my sister - who didn't like it as much as I did - and for myself. My hard copy has disappeared, but I got the e-book. Somehow, my hard copy of Hellspark is still around. I liked it, but not as much as Mirabile. I have high hopes for Uhura's Song.

Thank you for the Pirenesi recommendation! I read it in two sittings- communte home, commute in- I just could not put it down!

I just wanted to crawl inside it. I was interested that she was inspired by The Magician’s Nephew, which I also love.
