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."

Yeah, Blood Music is excellent. But it's not a book I'd reread.
Whereas, like Jessica, I'd gladly reread Queen of Angels because I really enjoyed being in that world.
Got any used bookstores nearby, MM?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Man we've got Arthurian legends going in the Harry Potter thread and cyber punks going in here. It's just too much for me! I'll be in my bunk.

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

I should combine the two and be a revolutionary.

I'm the only person I know of with ovaries who doesn't love The Diamond Age.
There are bits of The Diamond Age that I adore (go on, guess which ones), but for the most part I prefer Gibson to Stephenson. I re-read Idoru the other week, and damn if it wasn't eerily spot-on about what certain aspects of media fandom have become.

Not exactly cyber punk but it has... um... been in my bunk.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, so true! I should reread that.
