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

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 ....

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

#2 is taunting me. I just can't quite pull it out of the memory bank.

An interesting statement given the story.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'm SO looking forward to a new Saint of Steel book. FYI, I recently finished a book about the Royal Wardrobe. I got the e-book on sale and it would have greatly benefitted from illustrations; maybe the hard copy has them. In just reading about various royals' styles, it got to be kind of boring; also, I kept finding historic inaccuracies, which left me sitting there, kind of going, "but, but, but".
