My dorm stuck with Scotland. There was a quadrilogy about Renaissance brothers, one book per boy, that got ritually handed down by a graduating senior every year.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

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."

I love SBTN! And I saw the original post, but haven't updated on a kerfuffle, but omg, CE is AWFUL.
I remember reading quite a bit of her in the 80's, when I discovered puberty and romance novels in one swell foop. She the the queen of Bad Noble Savage Galloping-Thunder-Tomahawk-of-Love novels. Really bad stuff. Johanna Lindsey Noble Savage/Half-Breed stuff is a lot better than hers -- and JL is pretty.
For snark factor, Beatrice Small is my hands-down favorite, probably because she's raunchier, and the raunch is deliciously bad and breathtakingly hysterical to mock. I have shit MEMORIZED to riff with my sister.

Because books.

Bertrice Small is infamous for the truly purple, like "love grotto" and "throbbing manroot." And she looks like your grandmother! Little and prim and very proper. So cute.

Ple, who wrote that book we were mocking at the Chicago F2F? With the human/animal love and whatnot?

The lynx book? I just remember seeing it in L.A. the year after, and flea recognizing it sight unseen based solely on the fact it had a lynx in it.

OH, god, the lynx book! ...I have no idea. I think it was a fairly well known author, but...I've totally forgotten.

Yeah, I brought it to LA after taking it home from Chicago. Don't know where it ended up, aside from Not In My Living Room.
Meara, do you remember the title? Was it A Year and a Day? Virginia Henley?

YES, that was it (looking at the cover on Amazon). Dear GOD!
