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."

Yeah, I think Aimee would like Stardust, and much of Gaiman. Don't think she would like Neverwhere. Just an impression.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I could see it going either way. I'm a bad test subject, as I saw the BBC first.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Joe had some Sandman. He also has Neverwhere. And Good Omens.

We just need to find them all.

Or go to the bleeding library.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I love Neverwhere, but I think it helps if you're a big London geek.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

E-paper applications make me weak at the knees. I would love a sheet of 8.5x11 that I could print to from my laptop or desktop and then carry into, say the kitchen and have the recipe right there without having to take a computer in. Holds an image without power--that's hot.

Judith Tarr also wrote great historical Fantasy/Romances in which horses were not always the dominant element. (Though at least one had the romantic lead turned into a stallion for a large part of the novel.)
