Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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."

I went to Savers today to drop some stuff off, but of course I had to shop with the coupon they gave me. I found the first five Spiderwick Chronicles for ltc in hardcover.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I finally got around to listening to Hugh Laurie reading Three Men in a Boat, and then realized it was very abridged so I found an e-book copy and read that and now am listening to Willis’s To Say Nothing of the Dog. I thing I’m going to revisit the whole Oxford Tome Travel series. I pretty much read them as they came out, so big gaps in between, and while they are pretty memorable I suspect a binge would be rewarding.

I feel I need to read three men in a boat sometime to really get To Say Nothing of the Dog, though I’ve enjoyed it without having ever done that. Maybe the cliff notes.

Three Men in a Boat is a quick read and pretty amusing. I do wonder how someone ends up being named Jerome K Jerome. That’s slightly more boggling than William Carlos Williams, even.

Don't know if this qualifies as "literary," but there's a book on sale called Girly Drinks. It's about women and booze - making it, drinking it, etc.

I have The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen, KJ Charles' latest, on my iPad, but I have to work all day. This is wrong, and I would like to lodge a complaint.

Work getting in the way of reading is the worst. Bookblockers.
