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."

I'm current reading Privilege of the Sword. It makes me very happy.

Cat and Girl discuss the literature of WWI
Ummm, isn't Robert Graves really a bad example for this point? Nobody reads "I Claudius"?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
One thing I remember from college is that there was one passage in Suetonius about Tiberius that no one except Robert Graves would translate ... I read it and promptly wished I hadn't. No - I won't talk about it (shudder).

Also "I, Claudius" not so much about WWI.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I read THE BOOK - I meant to try to make it last, but I just couldn't stop reading. I laughed a lot, I sniffled a little, did some vigorous head-nodding. sigh ... I wish there were more.
Dear author, a lot of the book was a love letter to your internet communities - the people who've become the family of your heart, the people who "get" you in ways your birth family never have. It made me love my Buffistas more than ever. I hope you know that we love you back.

Nobody reads "I Claudius"
I read it, but only because I loved the mini-series so much.

And then it was all moot because the BookClub Thread which we had at the time became the no-whitefont home for HP6 discussion ( Wolfram "The Buffista Book Club: Isn't the Point of Computers to Replace Books?" Aug 7, 2005 8:01:35 pm PDT), which I personally thought was a great idea.
I'd be up for reopening that thread for a while, if people wanted to. (Or having the discussion here - I don't care either way.) But if people think it might be easier.

What timing... I was just coming in to see where and how people would be discussing HP7. I don't actually have useful input, just looking forward to it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Also "I, Claudius" not so much about WWI.
Graves's WWI memoir was Good-Bye to All That. Which I read for a college class in English history.
