And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

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."

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.

Superpowers

Swordfishtrombones

Shoot Out the Lights

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

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?

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!
