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."

Erin, can you see if your library can get it through InterLibrary Loan?

It was a good book. I liked that series a lot. Let me know if your sister doesn't come through. I've requested it, so if you don't want it when I get it then I'll return it, but if you do, well, here it will be.

Request for book info:

Several years ago there was a non-fiction book about night time. It essentially talked about human sleep cycles and said that in the days when people went to bed with the sun it wasn't uncommon for people to wake up partway through the night and interact--and no, that doesn't mean sex. The author theorized that people chatted with neighbors and such till they got tired again and went back to bed for the rest of the night. Which makes sort of sense, considering how long the night can get in Europe.

Does this sound at all familiar?

No, but it does sound interesting.

Art Crawl!!!

I googled and one of the books that came up was The Mind at Night by Andrea Rock from 2005. Is that too recent?

Sadly, yes, too recent, but interesting.

connie, someone else told me about that (that folks used to wake in the middle of the night)...I'll ask them where they read it.

I feel like we discussed it here at some point, but I can't remember how far back.

I must learn to trust the Buffistas for all my obscure knowledge needs.

Herding cats for fun

hey, woke up with wings!

Damnit. NOW how do I get dressed with these things hanging offa my back?

The concept of wingfic makes me laugh and laugh without even having to read any of it.

Wrod. Heh heh heh heh. Visualizing reams of Shaun Cassidy-Leif Garrett fic that would have come from my era. Egads.

Want to read Matt’s version of wingfic, though. The neocons should experience some of our crime-fighting righteousness.
