We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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."

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

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.

Has anyone read Wolitzer's Ten-Year Nap ? Just finished it last night.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

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:

Superpowers

Swordfishtrombones

Shoot Out the Lights

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?

The wide universe is the ocean I travel, and the earth is my blue boat home

I just blogged about my first half of 2008 in reading.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

It's my fictional protagonist who's suffering. I'm doing pretty well, myself, so don't be concerned!
