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."

And there's new Naomi Kritzer, Liberty's Daughter. I was reading the short stories in this setting in a magazine back in the day (which was possibly not that long ago, I really don't remember when this was) and loooooved them, so I am very excited to get a novel!

Eta - should perhaps disclaim, has nothing to do with CatNet so far as I know

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

I glad to see I was right. I think having six guessed on the first day may be a record.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Several years ago, at a previous job, I was friendly with a co-worker. We both had a taste for old books and, one day, I asked him what he was reading and he said I probably had never heard of it. When he said "Scaramouche" I quoted the first line to him, which he found a little surprising. Well, it IS one of the great opening lines ....
