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."
Writers Who Aren't Full of Shit:
If Ray Bradbury doesn't qualify to be on that list, I don't want to know. I wish to live in ignorant bliss.
OSC is a hot fluttering mess of logical fallacies.
Emma Bull, not full of shit. Jane Espenson, also.
Does it count if the writer is full of the same shit as you? Cause I totally related to David Simon gift-wrapping his shitlist and taking it on the road. But it might be some kind of *bull* shit
Emma Bull, not full of shit. Jane Espenson, also.
Plus they have excellent taste in friends.
S. Brust - not full of shit. But your FOS may vary.
Ray Bradbury - wrong on a lot of stuff, but don't think he is full of shit.
Gaiman has written about the lexicon thing, too: [link]
That made me miss Tim Hunter.
Neil Gaiman? Not an ass, and one can read his non-fiction with relaxation and ease.
Just finished reading To Kill a Mockingbird.
Seen the movie a dozen times, but never read the book.
Sigh.
