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."

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Ooh. Which?

No Legs, No Jokes, No Chance by Sheldon Patinkin, Mandy's cousin and a professor of theater at Chicago's Columbia College. (The title comes from the opinion of either a critic or Broadway insider, can't remember which, about Oklahoma before it debuted.) It's very comprehensive, well written, and does a good job of placing the various shows in context by giving a brief overview of what's going on in the world at the beginning of each chapter.

Hey. New board.

That looks great. I may pick up a copy on my next trip to B&N (sadly, it isn't available on Kindle.)

Thanks for the tip!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Gris - I was wondering the other night whether you'd seen/enjoyed Mamma Mia?

Bit random, I know, but with your penchant for rather more girl-power books etc it struck me that you might enjoy it.

Hey. New board.

I haven't seen the film version yet. I saw the stage production long ago, and enjoyed it - fun and fluffy. I'll see the movie eventually, I'm sure.

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

I thought Buffistas would appreciate today's Wondermark. (Don't forget the alt-text.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Oh how I love it. I want to clutch it my breast and call it Georgiana.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I loved that so much, I have a new tag.
