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."

Hey. New board.

Hamlet, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Angels in America, and possibly Kindred and Death of a Salesman.

I like this list. Though I actually was not a huge fan of Their Eyes Were Watching God. The rest of the list, though - pretty great. And pretty close to my senior year English class, though we did Our Town for our play instead of Death of a Salesman, and skipped Angels in America. We added some Faulkner (The Bear, a novella I believe) and Gatsby.

The status is NOT quo.

Cataloguing all of the books in the house, a philosophical question is raised: Exactly how many copies of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare does one couple need?

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

More importantly, you're cataloguing things without me?!?

Oh just you wait until you see this new toy. It is EVIL.

Delicious Library lets you use your iSight to read barcodes! ND and I had to get our own accounts since we're both so darned possessive of our books, of course. I've scanned just under 400 so far.

This is entirely Omnis' fault.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

All of them?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Exactly how many copies of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare does one couple need?

At least one for each person 13 or older is ideal. Preferably including multiple editions so you can check out different analyses.

And here I was worried that they wouldn't be able to milk the series anymore now that the last book was out... Silly me! The tenth anniversary edition of the last book will be out just in time for the 20th anniversary edition of the first!
