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."

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

On the recommendations from this thread I have finally gotten around to reading (listening to) the Paladin books and have discovered that the third one isn't out on audio until May! Unfair, when I want it now!

PSA for Hands of the Emperor fans - there's a novella out in what is apparently called the Lays of the Hearth-fire series: Portrait of a Wide Seas Islander

New Sebastian St Cyr novel out - its set in 1915 Paris and the opening line is “One more day” and I’m just going to have to pause for a moment and savor that

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

-t, I think you mean 1815? or else he's a vampire (see landlord discussion in Natter)

Yes, 1815. I guess I can’t blame autocorrect for that, but I was *thinking* 1815 whatever I typed

Ooh. But reading two chapters and not being able to read the third for a while might be painful.
