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."

Heh. There are so many books I adored in middle school/early high school that I have not re-read, lest my illusions be spoiled.

Charles Stross’s Merchant Princes novels, on the other hand, are economic science fiction worth reading.

I have these...they're an interesting concept, but I'm not a fan of the characters. A similar concept is present in SM Stirling's "Conquistador"

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Bruce Sterling's Islands in the Stream

It's Islands in the Net I think. Islands in the Stream is that horribly depressing last book by Hemingway.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Funny - did not like Conquistador at all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Islands in the Stream is that horribly depressing last book by Hemingway.

But a lovely Dolly/Kenny duet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ooh, I'm reading these! They're a world away from his usual singularity SF stuff, but I'm really enjoying them.

Oh thank you Buffistas for noting the Dolly Parton connection before I could get there.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I thought I was the only one who'd admit to liking that song.

Oddly, more than I did when it was new and popular.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Earworms? This early in the morning? Involving Kenny Rogers? I hate you all.

What condition is your condition in?

Are you working 9 to 5, Dana?
