Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.
Buffy ,'Beneath You'
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."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I did? Huh! I had no idea.
It was one of your trips out here and I think we were talking about your kick ass Aeropostale jeans and you told me about the book.
Which I went out and bought and became addicted to and now the series over and (spoiler alert): The pants are GONE!! GONE!! Effie lost them in GREECE! *sniff*

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Kristin made me buy a book once. It's all good. (Hypocrite in a Poofy White Dress. It was faboo)

Hey. New board.
I second your *sniff* and raise you a *whimper*, Aims.
Loves me some Sisterhood series. May need a reread. And a rewatch of the movie. Soon.

She made me buy the same book!!!
Did you read Kiss My Tiara yet? Same author - Susan Gilman. Tho can't blame Kristin for that one. Toddson gets all the credit.
Gris, I thought of you when I finished it. I like to think that like Elliott from Pete's Dragon, the Pants went to another set of girls.

I think Mom's reading Kiss My Tiara now. I know it's in the family rotation and I'll get it soon. Right now I'm re-reading Time Traveler's Wife. I was already crying by page 3.

I keep finding books that are perfect for certain people, and deliver them.

Hey. New board.
I love that idea, Aims. It's a pretty idea.
ETA: Somebody should write that fic.

I go out of wifi range for a week and you make the cyberpunk talk? Aiee - I am making office wallpaper out of the thread and wishing I could climb back in it timely-like.
But I have never enjoyed one of his books, and tend to finish them only when trapped on a trans-Atlantic flight. I find him a bit pompous.

But the fact this writer goes out of his way to call out two of the more highly-regarded female authors (Le Guin and Willis; I don't know who wrote "Souls") -- a bit suspect, right there on its face.
Nutty - that and the manifesto-punt have my deepest affection.
