Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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.
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?

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS
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?
...
what? he was a Quaker ... kind of

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
If you want to go for nonfiction, there's Among Friends, M.F.K. Fisher's memoir about growing up as a non-Quaker in Quaker Whittier, Calif. It can be seen as somewhat unflattering to Quakers, although her main point is what it's like to live outside of a closed society.

move out and draw fire
(thinks about making a joke about the Whittier Quake of 1987)
I'm reading World War Z and am very impressed. Like the best zombie movies, it's a socio-political commentary about the world now, rather than a slasher shriekfest. Some of the stories get repetitive, but it is rather brilliant.
