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."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've got Poisonwood Bible. huh, she just used "irregardless". I wonder if it was a purposeful insight into that particular narrator.

not your mom's socks.
Laga, I'm pretty sure the answer is yes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Here is how much of a nerd I am: I kind of want the Barrayaran Military Academy t-shirt available here: [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ooh! I want ALL of them!

I stopped after The Vor Game, and really need to get back to them.
But I just started To Say Nothing of the Dog today, and am already sucked in. (Though I wonder if I should re-read Three Men in a Boat before I go any further, because although I read it in college, well, that *was* 21 years ago [egad!], and I can't remember one single thing about it.)
What say you all? Re-read Three Men in a Boat? Or press on with To Say Nothing of the Dog?

Press on! Then re-read Three Men, THEN re-read To Say Nothing!!
Because, um, I've never read Three Men. And still quite enjoyed To Say Nothing. And keep thinking I should read Three Men, and then re-read To Say Nothing, and haven't, yet.

I can guarantee that if I read To Say Nothing *first,* and then Three Men, I will NOT re-read To Say Nothing. Not that soon, when there's so many other books wanting to be read.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
There are many, many books wanting to be read, and yet I've read "To Say Nothing of the Dog" five or six times. I don't think a recent reading of "Three Men" is necessary; you'll recognize them. Have you read "Gaudy Night?" It's a big part of the book too.
