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 know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Hivemind help: Does anyone remember a YA author with a last name that started with a Z? I thought it was Paul Zimmer and then Paul Zendle but I'm getting no love.

Because books.

Paul Zindel, Glam.

Thanks, Amy! Trying to include what I can remember in my reading paper and I know I read some of his stuff.

The Pigman is the only title I can remember off the top of my head, but I know I read all of his stuff at one point.

Art Crawl!!!

Paul Zindel website. His name was so familiar. . . titles I recall are My Darling, My Hamberger , Pardon Me You're Stepping on My Eyeball and possibly To Take a Dare and David and Della.

I don't think I actually remember reading The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds but wasn't it also a play or something?

Oh, God, I forgot that one! I think it was either a play of a MOW or something.

I definitely read My Darling, My Hamburger and Pardon Me... He was great.

It totally was! They did it at Rice.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My first scene in directing class was from The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in the Moon Marigolds! I love that play, although I suspect it might be a little dated now.

My high school did that play, back in nineteen seventy something.

Yes, and Paul Newman made it into a movie with Joanne Woodward (he only directed).
