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."

Excellent quote, Corwood - thank you for sharing!

The Adjective Noun

I'm going to have to write a book just to name it this.

I can't recall the last of the Peabody books that I read. . . I think it was set during WWI - does that sound about right?

WWI is the era when Rameses and Nefret get their act together, and there are a few post-war books that cover their kids, some political intrigue, and I think the last one involves Tutankhamon's tomb.

I pre-ordered Knut's book today! *o/* Although the bookstore owner was confused because her online ordering thing said it wasn't coming out until June and yet I know he has hard copies now...

That Beckett dude can write a little.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

No kidding. He makes despair sound like the most sublime emotion people are capable of.

I just finished Gaiman's Fragile Things. The DH got it for me for Christmas, and then absconded with it.

I'm always a little disappointed with Gaiman's novels, but OMG his short stories! It's a difficult form, but really where he shines, I think.
