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."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Well, the Corpus was already in progress, but yeah, our words are a part of it. It is 31,999 sources and us.

Well, you. 'Cause I'm a freaking privacy freak and didn't give my consent. So the sporking is not my fault.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh yeah, and also...

I know the author changed her nick for anonymity purposes.

Yup. Forgot about that. Okies! It was just a thought. I'm so proud of her!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Jilli, any words of mine you want are yours. Giving me credit ... would thrill me down to my toes.

Art Crawl!!!

Fun topic on the A Song of Ice and Fire forum about references that GRRM makes - some literary, some not.

ooh ... I got a notice from Amazon that my pre-ordered copy of The Book is on its way. I'm going to give it to a friend who doesn't quite understand the appeal of the Buffistas. AND Jilli quoted me in her GCS review - yay!

move out and draw fire

Anybody read Soon I Will Be Invincible ? [link] What with the whole superhero-supervillian thing, it seems very Buffista.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Anybody read Soon I Will Be Invincible ?

Psst! It was written by JZ's ex-boyfriend. The guy known around the house as, "The Boy Who Broke My Heart."

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, I would never wish JZ's heart broken, but this way she ended up with the right person. So...

Dog is my co-pilot.

My BiL has a new book out last month. It's Merchant of Death: Money, Guns, Planes, and the Man Who Makes War Possible by Douglas Farah and Stephen Braun. (SB is the BiL.) It's about international weapons trade, specifically Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. Steve and his co-author have an in store appearance at Politics and Prose in Georgetown (Washington, DC) on Thursday. Come on down if you're in the area!
