Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

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."

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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'm on page 690. I am at the point in all good fantasy novels where I can see the end is soon, but I'm not sure if I want to ever know what the end is.

I finished reading it about four hours after I started, and was all "YAY THE END!! Oh, wait. The END??"

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

Thrive to spite them
I just finished a book I think the Buffistas would like. It's called "An Alphabetical Life: Living it Up in the World of Books" by Wendy Werris .
It's about her life in the bookworld, first as a temp worker in Pickwick Bookshop and then as a book rep.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm between 300-400 pages in. I have a feeling I'm going to be reading slower and slower as the end draws near.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have a feeling I'm going to be reading slower and slower as the end draws near.Good luck with that. The second half is not paced like the first half.

We'll see how it goes. It helps that I am sharing the book with my roommate so I have to take a break once in a while. I'm hoping he's reading his ass off right now so I can steal it back he'll be ready for a break when I get home.
