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."

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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
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.

Yeah, I did the same thing until recently myself!

Glad you're enjoying them! I loved the first one ... the others not as much, but still good. Enjoy!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Heh. That's me and the Miles Vorkosigan books. (Just finished The Vor Game, and waiting for Ethan of Athos to get sent over to my library branch.)
