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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Aims! I hope Joe liked his book - I saw it and thought he needed it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Any word on whether that's more likely to be the genuine article or a hoax?

Given the timing, I'd say it's probably more supposition than fact. Not to say it won't happen.

Had to run - but, Aimee, I'm glad he enjoyed it. I saw the title and the first thing that came to mind was "Miracleman!" May it help with his plans for world domination - but could he give the transporter priority?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It can't be supposition and purport to be a scan of actual pages from the book.

move out and draw fire

Unless they scanned the usual Chinese pre-release. If the spoilers are things like "Gandalf dies" I guess we'll know.

OK, I don't know why I'm sometimes so contrary, but for some reason when everyone was reading Naomi Novik's Temerarire books, I took a glance at them, and went "nah, 18th/19th century naval warfare is so not my thing" and didn't read them.

WHY didn't I read them? I'm in the middle of the second one now, and loving them! Silly me. OTOH, that means I don't have to wait for any of them to be published! Whoot!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

WHY didn't I read them? I'm in the middle of the second one now, and loving them! Silly me.

Yeah, I did the same thing until recently myself!
