I remember the moment of conversion.
No fanatic like a convert.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

I am gobsmacked by the notion of persons about whom RPF is written reading and writing feedback.
Quite frankly, that would be Number One Reason I'll Never Be In Bandom. Ever. EVER.
I like the music, though.

Jezebel's list of 75 books every woman should read - I've read less than half of them.

I know I've read 44 of those titles, and if I included "I'm pretty sure I read that" then I'd be closer to 61.

Wait - I think I have too (read 44) - that's more than half. (See, my arithmetic skills leave much to be desired.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've read 5 of them.
I've read 11 of them and am reading a twelfth. I'm more than twice the woman you are!
(Maybe 12, going on 13. I can't remember whether I read The Diary of Anne Frank. I'm sure I must have.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I think I've read 15, maybe 20 if you include "started and subsequently abandoned." I'm terribly weak on 20th-century fiction, and worse on 21st.

If you have not read Fun Home, I highly recommend it, whatever your gender.

Okay, I included the Shirley Jackson among those I have read - even though I may have only read "The Lottery."
