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."

Late to the party, but I loved Sunshine. I recommended it to my bookgroup who aren't, on the whole, enamored with vampire novels or post-apocalyptic SF/fantasy. They adored it.

The Guthrie's stage version of Little House on the Prairie is a surprise hit!

Hmm, apparently, the LHotP is a musical.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Fun! I remember being very dubious of the opera version of Little Women but it was really well done.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yeah, I'm actually unsurprised there. It seems tailor-made for that. (Not ragging on it, just: Midwest + plucky heroine + musical numbers = big bucks!)

New, fully poseable Author!Knut.

Just a drive-by, and I should have mentioned it before, but: last-minute though it is, I wanted to let the Chicagoistas know that I am in your fair city and will be reading tonight at the Bookslut event at Hopleaf in Andersonville. It's me and Eddie Campbell. Eep! The event starts at 7:30, upstairs--don't know if any of you are close, but if you are, please come on by and say Hi!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Has anyone else read The Disappearing Act of Esme Lennox? it turned up on the remainder table and I remembered reading the review when it first came out - it's good.
