Yeah, I wish there was a Buffista Book Bulk Order thang!
Signed, still has multiple copies of Swordfishtrombones that I haven't wrapped, needs to give another Vampire People book as a gift, and don't get me started on the REST of the stack.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Folks, has anyone here read Sunshine by Robin McKinley? NPR just discussed this book and recommended it, but the commenters on Amazon seem more mixed. I read Robin's much earlier book when I was a teenager Beauty and it is one of my favorite books of all time. Her (re)telling of "beauty and the beast" was just wonderful.
So if Sunshine is close to being that good, I'm on board.
(BTW, I did a search of this thread and found the book in 2 posts. Typo Boy seemed to like it)

Yeah definitely liked Sunshine. Been a while, so memory is fading. I think I liked it best of the McKinley books, but that is compared to Blue Sword, not Beauty. I am starting to worry a bit about my memory, because I know I read Beauty, and I can't remember anything about it.

Sunshine is fantastic. It's one of the books I find myself re-reading every year.

We just watched the movie of Rosencranz and Guildenstern Are Dead (quite good) and then on Disc 2, the interview with Tom Stoppard.
Well, we watched most of the interview, because Sweet Fancy Moses, for someone who wrote such a witty play, his interview was as boring as death. How does that happen?

I saw that movie in the theatre, and had to see it a second time because we were laughing so hard in parts, we missed bits of the movie. Also, my DVD only has one disc. I don't even have the boring interview with Tom Stoppard.
