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."

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.

Smart Bitches Trashy Books has an item on fanfic, whether reading it constitutes literacy. The comments have developed into a discussion of fanfic in general. One comment made me smile:

Copyright aside (a VERY big aside) Fanfic is a kind of authorial immortality. If the story world you create is so vivid, so engrossing, that fans want to not only live there but make it their own, congratulations you are the proud parent of Literature.

I haven't read it yet, but I'm completely spoiled for it. I read all of Cleolinda's recaps and couldn't stop giggling in bemused horror.
