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."

Remember Jon Kalb from that book? He was the cohort of Johanson's who screwed him over when he was trying to navigate the bureaucracy of Idi Amin. Well, I met him at a book convention when he was signing copies of his own book. I was tempted to ask him for his side of the story, but decided not to broach the subject.)
Oh yes! I had forgotten that-- how interesting. Now I am thinking that the archeology scene of the 70's would be ripe for fanfiction!

When I was in junior high, my mom signed us all up for an Agatha-Christie-Book-of-the-Month Club (black leather covers), until we got the whole set. It was very cool to go from the Nancy Drew club to Agatha Christie!
I have this set and I love it. It took over six years to get them all.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Not Barb, but a RITA is an award given to romance authors by the RWA. It's named after the first RWA president Rita Clay Estrada.

I have no idea why I know this.

Heh. I was going to say, Aims. Points for useless trivia!
