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."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I found Michael Tolliver Lives in paperback at Border's over the weekend and am about halfway through. I've missed Mouse so much and so far, I'm loving the book. It's all from Michael's POV - no jumping from person to person - and even though it is so different from the rest of the series, it's just wonderful.

I know Maupin said this wasn't a sequel, but I don't care. It's totally the 7th book. Although they have switched the cover art on all of the books, so I may have to buy a new set so they match.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, I forgot about that! So I just put it on hold at the library. Yay Mouse!

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

the King short story mentioned above may be a lit equivalent of an ita link

move out and draw fire

So I was just wikipedia-dipping and discovered that one of the two stories in Soon I Shall Be Invincible is a complete rip of the Tomorrow Woman storyline.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

After I read a King short story where rats in caves mutated to eyeless rat I was done with King short stories. I have a giant mutation squick.

Anyone read the new Kushiel book yet? I'm about 15 pages from the end, and kinda wondering [edit: all about tone/pacing, nothing spoilery re: actual events] if her editor sent it back to her saying "You need to wrap this up more quickly", or if she just got bored, or what. It's...oddly paced. I feel like all of her other books have been so intricately plotted and DENSE, and this book feels like the first 90%...well, no. It's not that a lot didn't HAPPEN. And yet, it somehow didn't feel as though it did. And then the last 50 pages is wrapping it all up verrrrry quickly. Not *quite* in a "I'm going to deus ex machina wrap this all up", really, any more than any of her other books. Just...hmmm. I can't tell if it's that I CARE less, or what.
