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."

Woe to the fucking wicked.

bt, I was more worried about the lack of wrapping up anything in VI

P-C, it's a specific body count.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's what I was beginning to be afraid of. I don't want to know the number!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

P-C, it's a specific body count.

That's how the headline reads, but if you read the actual quote, it comes across as more like a minimum. She said, "One character got a reprieve. But I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die... A price has to be paid. We are dealing with pure evil here. They don't target extras do they? They go for the main characters. Well, I do."

Hey. New board.

I gotta say, if Harry doesn't die I may have to FIE UPON THEE to that series forever.

That said, I'm pretty sure he won't.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

And I stand corrected by Jon.

Really, David? I'd much rather have the Buffy-end-of-series moment. Let The Boy Who Lived actually have, you know, a life. I rather hope that Ginny also survives, because I'm a sap that way.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

The spoilers are getting more specific as to who is likely to die. I wonder if Rowling is doing foilers.

Because books.

I'd much rather have the Buffy-end-of-series moment. Let The Boy Who Lived actually have, you know, a life.

I feel the same way.

And I was just saying the other day to Ben, who's nine, it's kind of a disappointing summer after last year -- no new book! No Harry Potter midnght event at the local bookstore! Feh.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

But I'll be able to tone my upper body with this next one. I've used Infinite Jest before.
