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."

It's called Captain Blue Hen, and it's awesome - they're so nice.

I love the name "Captain Blue Hen"!!!

I'm pretty sure that wasn't around when I would have been hanging out in Newark back inna day. Of course we mostly were at parties at Skid Row and at movies at the State Theatre. Oh, and at the arcade on Main St.

Captain Blue Hen is an awesome name.

I don't think that my comic shop carries novels. So sad.

Captain Blue Hen is an awesome name.

I know, right? He has his own seal: [link] (U. of Del. sports teams are the Fighting (Fightin'?) Blue Hens, for context to anyone not lisah, by the way. Delaware has a lot of chickens.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Ambling around teh internets, I ran across some news that Asda (UK store) will not be carrying the last Harry Potter book. The snippet of information - no idea how reliable it is - said there were disputes about money.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Quick question- I am about to make some book purchases... what is the name of AmyLiz's latest book?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Have people been to release parties for the other books? Would you recommend going to a big chain like Borders or Barnes and Noble or a small, local bookstore? I know chains are evil and all, but for the last book, the Borders atmosphere was fun and excited, and the local bookstore atmosphere was low-key and lame.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Would you recommend going to a big chain like Borders or Barnes and Noble or a small, local bookstore?

Surely, in San Francisco, some of the larger indie stores are having big events and you can have the best of both worlds?
