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."

Anyone read Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books? Didja know Alan Ball, creator of Six Feet Under has optioned it, and is making an HBO series of it? They start filming next year.

That's all I know; I dunno if they've cast or anything. I like the books; I think they are lovely fun entertainment. I read the newest one and all I can think about (not really that spoiler-y) Quinn is that Harris must have a big Vin Diesel jones, because her descriptions of him are pretty much VinD to me. And since I have the hots for Diesel, I pretty much ok with it!

I like it; she clears up some hanging plot points in this one, which is good.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I just found a new edition of Pat Murphy's The City Not Long After which is one of the best fantasy novels set in San Francisco. If you're looking for something good to read in the next two weeks, you could do worse.

Cool. I love that book, but my copy has vanished into the ether.

Yeah, it's on my short list of books I always check for on the used shelves no matter how many copies I have because I'm always foisting it off on people. But now they can buy it themselves.

I can't even.

Excellent. I loaned out mine years ago in a fit of "really good book, you should borrow" and natch, not seen it since.

I think that's what happened to mine too.

I read those! I don't get HBO though so no joy for me (until the DVDs come out).

I'm in the midst of Dead to the World at present, though I've got to say it's not wowing me.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Just read the first chapter or so of Dead to the World in the back of one of the Nightside books last night. Looks interesting, but I'm in the midst of a book-buying moratorium (no, really!) for the next little while. I'll have to put the author in my little notebook to check for next visit to the liberry.

Actually liked Grave Sight her non-sookie book much better.
