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."

Right now I am reading The Road as quickly as possible because I need it to be over fast so I can stop being so afraid of having nightmares about it. I think it's beautiful but ...sheesh... what am I going to read after as an apocolypse cleanser???

ooh I've never read Wodehouse.
Corwood, I love Confederacy of Dunces. One of my favorite books. But I think the New Orleans setting is too sad for me right now.
I want HAPPY reading damnit!!!

Bill Bryson has a new Shakespeare book coming out. Or maybe it's out already...
Can't do better for a lift-me-up than Bill Bryson.

New Bill Bryson? I'll have to check the bookstore tomorrow night to see if it's out yet.
There's a book on the bestseller list I hadn't heard of yet that sounds fascinating, Loving Frank, a fictionalized account of the scandal that rocked Oak Park, IL about 100 years ago, when Frank Lloyd Wright left his wife and six kids for the wife of one of his clients. WGN radio is going to have the author on tomorrow morning. IIRC, the paramour/second wife is the one who was later murdered by their handyman at Taliesin.

Loving Frank
I heard an NPR story about that and had to look up his Wikipedia entry so I could find out what the "tragic end" of the story was. It certainly was tragic.
