Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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."

Follow-up to the Goth Poetry discussion. I've posted The Waterboys very pretty version of Yeats' "The Stolen Child" up at Buffistarawk.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just finished Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn. Anyone else read it? It's very oogy and disturbing in an understated way.
I also read Choke, which is my least favorite Palahniuk so far (I love Fight Club and Lullaby ), mostly because the narrator is much more unlikable. And there isn't a very strong narrative drive; it's mostly a string of thematics and internal monologue. The ending made me like the book a lot more than I expected to, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just finished Superpowers, and really really liked it. I'm trying to figure out who to lend my copy to first.

I gave mine away the other day and meant to pick up another for me this weekend to finish reading but I didn't make it to the book store. Dammit.
I do love handing out Buffista books like some bizarro-world Watchtower. Just wish I could afford to do it more often.

My copy of Superpowers has just come in. I started pimping it to a friend and I haven't started reading it yet.
