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."

That's much more your style than a pink cardigan -- even in the dream, I wondered why you were wearing it!

Was it paired with rhinestone cat's-eye glasses?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
This list is way too skewed for books that I suspect will be forgotten in 50 years.
Any list that doesn't have Sexual Politics or The Awakening is suspect. Other omissions: Jane Eyre, Vanity Fair, Moll Flanders, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Emily Dickinson, Sarah Orne Jewett and Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

Jane Eyre was on there. But Emily Dickinson is a huge omission! I guess it was tending towards fiction, but Dorothy Parker was on there, who I think of mostly as a poet and a quipper.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
10 on the men's list. 6 of those were because they were assigned in high school (Rabbit, Run; For Whom the Bell Tolls; Heart of Darkness; One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; Moby Dick; and The Spy Who Came in From the Cold).

Art Crawl!!!
Well, it was a reader submitted list. It makes you wonder who the readers are who submitted book titles.

Heh. I first read it in sixth grade and loved it. I still go back and reread it every few years -- I don't love the same things that I loved then, but it's still a great story. Plus, I've now got the vocabulary to express exactly why I think Ashley's an idiot, whereas then, I mostly just got irritated without being able to explain why.

Always Anti-fascist!
Hil is me, here. Although I don't really think Ashley and Scarlett were ever suited.
