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'm worse at The World's Best Independent Bookstore Ever, but that's because I've known the owners since I was five
You're not talking about Chester County Books, are you, Sox? Because that's my favorite independent bookstore ever, and close to where you are now!
You're not talking about Chester County Books, are you, Sox?
nooo - but I could be ... I can get there pretty easily. Will try to.
I'm talking about The Reader's Forum in Wayne. it is awesome. and that opinion has nothing to do with the fact that they save me advance readers' copies of the scifi as well as fantasy for my sis.
Gris, I'm curious - what are some of the major (if any) differences between the book and the movie?
Plot-wise, there are very few differences. I was pretty shocked at the consistency of the narrative. And I really think the movie did a great job of conveying a lot of the feel of the book, which is very impressive, since the book is almost entirely internal. In fact, in a lot of ways it's a tell-not-show book almost entirely, which would be bad except the telling is so evocative.
Basically, I think she should see it if she loved the book. I think they are very good together.
I will be picking up A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray on page 124 the second I get off this computer. Thank You for talking about her, even though I might not get enough sleep tonight.
Thanks, Gris!
I just ordered the next two books.
They're wonderful! I'm so glad that you like them!
Another convert!
Amy, how far are you?
::sheepish::
I haven't started it yet. I'm still trying to finish the book that was due a few weeks ago (that I'm writing, not a library book, to be clear, because a library book would get tossed like a prom dress), so I can't start The Sweet Far Thing until I know I can dive in without restraint. Hoping that will be this weekend...
