Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

Excellent good list.

Why thank you! You'll note that I left off most of the YA books, anthologies, or non-fiction. And yes, I have lots of all three of those sub-categories.

Who else has read The Stress of Her Regard?

I love that book. I think I need to re-read it soon. And hey! Ties in with your poetry question!

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.

Kim Newman! Go Kim Newman! Heavily Goth, with a touch of SteamPunk. Plus Genevieve, even if I did keep expecting her to have violet eyes.

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

And yes, I have lots of all three of those sub-categories.

Come away, O human child!

That was my favorite poem when I was a kid!

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

From sj's recommendation:

Acquainted with the Night
by: Robert Frost
I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.

I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,

But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
O luminary clock against the sky

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.
