Calla, I just pinged my mom, who helps manage a couple of book clubs through her bookstore. I'll report back as soon as she does.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

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."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Life of Pi is boring my eyes out of their sockets!
Me, too!!! I read that this summer. Well, I actually started it the last week of April, but it took me until mid-July to finish it. I kept reading it in starts and stops because it just couldn't hold my interest.

Thanks JZ!
I liked Life of Pi.
Man, I don't fit in around here, huh? ;)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I am about a quarter of the way through The Golden Compass. I'm really liking it! I need to put a hold on The Amber Spyglass so the library has it ready when I finish this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I liked Life of Pi a LOT (except the very end, which pissed me off), and I think I'm generally pretty unwilling to read boring.

P-C, you'll want The Subtle Knife before Amber Spyglass.

Er. Yeah, that's totally what I meant! (Thanks for setting me straight, though; I totally would have gotten the wrong book!)

Tim Cox - Buffy: Anya, that thing you created burst through solid pavement and ate her dog.
Anya (anguished): Oooh, puppy!

Thats my problem too, but I started it with only a few weeks before i have to have it done, and now Im down to 3 more days to finish it. 200 pages of boring, then not, then boring in 3 days!

Probably better than me. My posts are mostly ignored in the Natter thread
