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?
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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."

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?
...

"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.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I finally got my copy of Will the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby? Man, I knew this book was going to be good but I wasn't prepared for how good. I'm only on page fifteen and I've already laughed and cried and laughed again. I hope I can save some for Wednesday's plane ride.
