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."

Speaking of Monty Python: There is a series of books on Popular Culture and Philosophy that I think you folks would enjoy. You may have seen that among the first few books in 2003 was Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Philosophy: Fear and Trembling in Sunnydale. They have continued to publish over twenty others, including Harry Potter and Philosophy: If Aristotle Ran Hogwarts; Superheroes and Philosophy: Truth, Justice, and the Socratic Way; Monty Python and Philosophy: Nudge Nudge, Think Think!; and The Undead and Philosophy: Chicken Soup for the Soulless. They would help make your spicy brains even spicier.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Monty Python and Philosophy: Nudge Nudge, Think Think!
That's a beautifully horribly beautiful title. And I'm fairly certain I need the Harry Potter book.
Also, congratulations on your de-lurkage. From your ID number, it looks like you've been soothly lurking for quite some time. It's scary to take that first leap into visibility. Go team you!

Actually, this is now my sixth post in four years, and I'm going back to lurkage for the foreseeable future. But thank you, and I hope you enjoy the books!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am currently reading this book [link] which is the third in the series and it is so cute.
The author must have been a Buffy fan. It's light, it's fluffy, it's fast reading.
I like it.
Anyone else picked it up?

Wait, it's a Third? Damn. I bought it 'cause it looked fun, but I didn't realize it was a mid-series book. Now I can't read it until I get the first two. Phooey.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Callaluna, if you're getting desperate and MUST have something about 20th century Quakerism, possibly a biography of Richard Nixon?
