Ooooh, I think I'm stumped this year.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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."

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

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I got three! Although someone else had already guessed one of mine. I love this tradition and every year I wonder if there's some way to do some variation on it myself.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, first time in a while I didn't know any.

I don’t know any, but I feel like I may kick myself when some are revealed…

Yes, probably. There’s definitely a couple more I think are getable. But a few I think aren’t getable at all, including one I know some here have read.

I do enjoy going through the previous years and discovering the ones I know now that I didn't know then. For instance, I just finished reading Bel Canto.

Really surprised no one came up with #10. I thought I made it easier by using the preface but maybe not.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The only one of those I've read was True Grit, and that was a very long time ago.

The only one I'm sure I read is We Solve Murders and I guess I forgot all about the bits that were how-to-be-an-international-criminal-mastermind although I enjoyed them when I was reading. Frankenstein makes sense now that I know it, but I was not making the connection (I have thought for years that I read it but what I actually remember of it is the cover of the paperback I found in a used book store which I am pretty sure I bought but not completely certain I read)

The only one I read was Frankenstein, which might have been as far back as high school.
