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 know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Will Johnny Depp be Alice? I only half kid - I'm sure his Alice would rock.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Mad Hatter. Or, Cheshire Cat. I vote Cheshire Cat.

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

I saw that in the paper version recently! Hee.

"I remember when Phil was a little kid, instead of picking up a book, getting bored, and then throwing it at his sister, he'd actually sit down and read the whole thing," said mother Susan Meyer, who declared she has long given up trying to explain her son's unusual hobby. "At the time, we thought it was just a phase he was going through. I guess we were wrong."

Well. it looks like my blog is going to be quoted on LibraryThing's buzz page. I love it when people think I am amusing. Because I think I very funny, but not enough people seem to understand what's so funny.

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

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Actually - one please, Please, PLEASE! NO HBC as Alice. No. Bad Tim. No biscuit.

She might make a decent Queen, though.

not your mom's socks.

this. zomg. she would make a fantastic queen.

>> And Dictionary of the Khazars

LOVE!

which version did you have ?

And Borges. Who apparently is one of Karl Rove's favorite authors (hah!)

Love the Book of Sand. Rove? really? Boggles. Maybe he just likes the titles?

Gaarder presents this as a translation of a work he somehow found by pure chance, translated...

Don't forget Marquez - who has his narrator act as a reporter in some of his short stories.

Oh, and if I'm going to lay out my full geek - Milton... Paradise Lost was dictated to him by an angel ('cept for the point where he refers to himself in the first person. whoops. blind-ass.).
