What a boring world that person lives in.
Giles, help! He's going to scold me!
Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
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."

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
There are romance readers who won't read women's fiction because "If I want realism, I'll look at my own life, I don't need it in my books." (This is the kind of reader who tends to give romance as a whole a bad name... )
Well, that's basically the reason that the only romance I do read is Regency. (Exceptions to this rule are made for Jennifer Crusie). But I don't generally pick up contemporary fiction anyway. I'm slowly changing that as I have more time to read now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"The decision to not hyphenate "kids only" is likely related to the omission of the serial comma. I wonder if the author is British. I wonder if he sleeps at night."

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

I was very confused until I clicked the hyperlink and only part of it turned purple. Hee.
I've wanted to read House of Leaves for a while. It looks even more daunting now.

“Not dead yet!”
I just thought of a narrator who's both reliable and unreliable-- Briony in ATONEMENT. The epilogue of the book is just one big WTF when you realize what McEwan did with the narrative.
I wanted to smack him almost as much as I wanted to worship at his feet.
