When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Buffy ,'Lessons'


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."

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."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I've read 31, but there are about 20 more that I am not sure if I actually read, or just know a lot about them.

Oh, then I'm at, like, 12.1.

My mind is sort of boggling that there are that many books on a single list that I am unsure if I read. I did read MANY books in college, and as I was an English major who took classes in mainly 19th and 20th century lit and women's literature, I have at least been exposed to almost every single title.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I read 24 or so. I think Atwood's Cat's Eye should defintely be on there and it isn't so I am rounding myself up to 25.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I've read somewhere between 15-20 of them. I'm not sure if I finished all of them. I have quite a few more unread on my shelves. Many of the ones I read were for class.
