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."

In case anyone could use this information, Adjoah Andoh reading Pride and Prejudice is pretty dang great. It’s not quite MOAR LADY DANBURY but it’s very nice indeed
