See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

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."

That's 48 hours TOO LONG.

Although, I am reading quite a bit of fic. (Thank you very much!!!)

I sometimes wonder if there's something wrong with me that I'm this invested in a work of fiction where I just feel every little thing that they feel.

And then I look around at all of youse and think, "Well, if there's something wrong with me, there's something wrong with them and I'm ok with that. We're all wrong together."

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I was reading GoF last night, and Minerva grabs Hermione's neck/throat, to steady herself when she's slipping on that water from Peeve's water balloons. Seemed odd.

And, I will wear that t-shirt with you, Aimee.

I just read that chapter last night too and had the same reaction.

Did you get my reccie for Midnight Confessions, Aimee? I like that one a lot for the strong Weasley family (both immediate and extended) that it had, as well as the neat idea of family magic.

I've been feeling like I'm wandering through Close Encounters...."This means something."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

You know, I only read the first HP book - just didn't get engaged. But! I keep reading the posts.

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

Toddson, if you want to give it another shot, keep going. The first book is not the bestest ever; it mainly introduces you to the world. The third book is where most people got truly hooked, I think.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah. The first book was a well-written kids book. The second was kind of eh -- set up a lot of stuff that would be important later, but not so great on its own. The third is where it starts really getting interesting, and then the fifth is where it definitely stops being just kids books.
