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 a hell of a long book, though! Just finished, myself. Dr. Who may have to wait until tomorrow. Along with all the other things I was supposed to do today.

A non-spoilery comment. IMO a key plot point depends on handwavium.

Good god. My friend picked up the book on Saturday morning. Her mother, on the other hand, picked it up on Friday night and decided the thing to do was text her the ending first thing Saturday morning.

Sounds like the mother who decided, during her daughter's wedding reception, that since the daughter had walked out she should go ahead and cut the cake for her.
