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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Kerfuffle Bunny

So is he deliberately not using the serial comma for added kerfuffling? Or are you simply the spawn of Satan?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I think it may end up being my favorite of his novels. It's a mixture of Stardust and Coraline, so of course I'm going to find it perfect.

So jealous! I can’t wait to read it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Kerfuffle Bunny needs to be a weekly strip.

He could just change his line every week like The Angriest Dog In The World.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh! I love Kerfuffle Bunny! I think Ollie, the Stupidest Dog in the World, needs to be his sidekick.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

huh

I love that there is day dedicated to joyce , even though I don't love him. or even like him.

But I came to the conclusion - and really only recently - that what I like in movies and books is JOY . not happily ever after -- just JOY. (and yes it has to be said with all caps.)So lots of greats don't go there. Doesn't mean they aren't great, but I might not like them.

Ask me why my major in college was history with a minor in english...

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

So...JOYce?

Actually, yes (I said yes I will yes) -- at least if you buy the argument of this.

Joyce -- couldn't tell you what he is talking about lot of times. DH can , but by his nature, he has a classic education. ( self taught mind of the curious and brilliant. we went to the same schools through high school). there is a music in Joyce that means I hear they rhythm and sound but not the meaning. and there were words in POA that bugged. So I never got far with him

Oddly , the English Patient was another one of those books. When I read it , I got lost in the language-- and kept forgetting the story. And I was co-leading a book discussion on it. To this day I still can't tell you if I like it or not -- and the big plot hole that people found, I have no idea if it was really there
