Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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."

Question--is there any way to put together a list of authors and be notified when they have a new book out/coming out? Amazon suprisingly doesn't seem to be able to do this (or maybe I'm just a moron who can't get to the right help file). You'd think it would be easy enough, but...

meara, on Amazon, go into Your Account, then look under E-Mail Notifications for "Manage your Amazon.com Alerts."

Ah, I see. It's still not quite as intuitive/easy as you'd think, but I guess it'll do what I want! Thanks! Dunno why I couldn't find that one when I was looking at work earlier.

I always thought the Amazon interface sucked.

Barnes and Noble sent me a notice that the new Jennifer Crusie book was out. Isn't that odd?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Interesting mix.

According to a description from Jesse, I might have missed a Crusie. I need to do research.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

It will either be "OMG, how clever," or very "WTF?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here's an OK review: [link]

They have had a blog with a live feed to lj about the writing of the novel. It sounds to me like it should be interesting.
