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."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

automotive catalogs
Catalogs are like a window into a totally different world! All those arcane things that apparently mean something to other people, and they come in odd variants. Whole industries for things I never suspected, it's like looking behind a door and finding the world of the gnomes or something.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I do remember finding it pretty difficult to give a shit about Aeneas after he'd left Dido in the lurch and she'd topped herself.
I get pissed at Dido, because she's so damn lovestruck that she more or less abandons her people and the construction of her city to moon after Aeneas, and instead of a) hunting him down or b) picking herself back up after he fucks off, she lies to her sister and tosses herself on top of a pyre. That is not leadership, woman! Way to give female rulers a bad name!
I, too, need to read. I've read some truly awful books just because they were the only thing in the house I was visiting.

I remember thinking that Aeneas was better off away from the crazy burny lady. Poor old Carthage though.

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

In college, this was how I ended up reading Sweet Valley High. One of my roommates had most of the series, I was desperate one weekend for a distraction, there wasn't anything else around and so I read all the ones she had on her shelf. (I sound like a junkie)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
(I sound like a junkie)
Well, you just kind of hit a point where you want to know what happens, right? Like -- will NO ONE bitchslap Jessica?!? WHY does Elizabeth defend Jessica no matter how wrong she is???
And -- does Elizabeth, deep inside, regret NOT having sex with Bruce when she had amnesia???
(Yup, I read them, too. Up until whatshername -- the deaf girl who got un-deaf -- decided to do coke because she was mad at her boyfriend and then died because DRUGS ARE EVIL, KIDS!!!)

That's about where I ended, too.
