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."

An interesting statement given the story.
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".
I recently came across this video [link] which was delightful, and which led m me to this:
GLOSSI know a little man both ept and ert.
An intro-? extro-? No, he’s just a vert.
Sheveled and couth and kempt, pecunious, ane,
His image trudes upon the ceptive brain.
When life turns sipid and the mind is traught,
The spirit soars as I would sist it ought.
Chalantly then, like any gainly goof,
My digent self is sertive, choate, loof.

I need help parsing "ceptive" and "sist", please. Any ideas?
Insist? Perceptive or Deceptive?
Receptive? Agree on "insist"
