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."
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.
just found this: graphic novel built in facebook - [link]
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 order of buffista books (David's, David's and Hayden's) shipped yesterday. I can't wait.
Has anyone read Wolitzer's Ten-Year Nap ? Just finished it last night.
My copy of Superpowers has just come in. I started pimping it to a friend and I haven't started reading it yet.
I should have thought to do this before, but here are some Amazon Associate links:
Hee. From Corwood's link:
Buy this book with Swordfishtrombones (33 1/3) by David Smay today!
Though this
Hayden Childs weaves the story of this astonishing record from the perspective of a man who is obsessed with it, a man who is living and reliving his own trip through Hell.
sounds like it's saying it's Corwood reliving his own trip through hell - which I think (and hope) is not actually the case?
I just blogged about my first half of 2008 in reading.
