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."

Now received PDF. Am about to print it. Maybe you should post in on a web site somewhere in case others want to download and print it. (others who have not posted to you - I mean. Post it and then put it up in press.)

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

That is an excellent idea, and I would do that except I don't really have a place to put it since Flickr and Photobucket won't take pdfs.

Do you have any place you could post it? (if that wouldn't be an inconvenience)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

David, if you want to send me a handful, I can put them in York and Manchester (maybe Leeds) with immediacy, and probably London and Dublin in the next few weeks.

ETA: But email me about it, because I am checking things on the intarwebs infrequently.

Oooh, excellent penetration of the UK market.

OK - the address for the PDF is

You might want to post in press - since I suspect more people will pay attention to a posting from you than me.

Just my personal web site that came free with my internet connection - but since this is not going out to millions, I suspect it won't be overwhelmed.

Thanks, Gar.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Do you need my address, Hec? Can't remember if I gave it to any of y'all while I was there.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

re: Libba Bray's The Sweet Far Thing, I really *ought* to re-read the first two books, but I'm too impatient to do so. I want to know what happens. And, at the same time, I don't want it to end. I'm about 100 pages into the 800+ pages, and Bray has done a really good job of bringing in things from the previous books so that I remember them without being bludgeoned by heavy-handed exposition.

Like Fee's rotten father. Feh on him. I totally forgot what a vile shit he is. I hope Bad Things happen to him.

....and that's all I've got, so far, other than wondering where the hell Kartik is.
