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."

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

LKH writes boring sex 90% orgies with only one female involved. I find it hugely funny that men can have sex with other men, but women are only having sex with men in ANY of LKH's universe.

After you read Alice - pick up a copy of The looking Glass wars

I'm only part way thru it - but it is an interesting spin on Alice.

Thrive to spite them

Do the men have sex with each other in the Anita books? I don't remember that, I remember it being all about Anita and the hetero sex only.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I talked to the author of that at Wondercon!

After I read Alice, I'm actually reading Through the Looking Glass.

Alice and Through the looking glass are one to me. Even though the second was written under heavy influence . ( I thought that as an innocent child)

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

I'm reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for the first time. I swear, it's like he just made shit up as he went along.

He totally does. When I was reading the British cult kids book Uncle I noticed the same thing. "He's just making shit up!" Then realized that this is a bit part of the bagginess of Narnia (here's a faun, here's a giant sized swashbuckling rat...), and also a part of the Harry Potter books.

I've concluded that "Just Making Shit Up" is an actual British fantasy tradition.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I wrote a paper in Victorian Lit on "Alice's Search for Identity." The paper was mostly bullshit, but it got an A+ from the prof, so I'm not complaining.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

(this is before she gest the sex powers)

This may be my favorite typo ever.

After you read Alice - pick up a copy of The looking Glass wars

I'm going to assume this isn't the LeCarre novel.
