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 must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I have it on good authority that rabbits aren't harmless like everyone supposes.

Keep breathing!

By the way, thank you to the Buffistas who were conversing recently about the Vorkosigan books and, unrelatedly, Connie Willis. I have had a happy couple of weeks working my way through several of the former and re-discovering how much I like the latter. (Bellwether was a lot of fun.) So thanks!

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

I just finished chapter two of The Name of the Wind and I want to marry it and have it's babies. If you aren't seriously hooked by page 25 I could never love you.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have to admit, I love the more recent Bujold series more than the Vorkosigan books (The Sharing Knife, et al.) But although I have read a lot of scifi, it is not my all time fave genre, so it makes sense that I like the world she created in TSK: Beguilement a bit better.

Art Crawl!!!

Have you read the 3rd Sharing Knife book?

(I haven't. . . yet. Paying my humongous library fines will make it more likely that I will read it sooner.)

Yes, I have! And I still like the series and the characters and Bujold seems to be whipping 'em out, which makes me happy.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So excited!

I'm taking Multicultural Literature for Youth this semester and I just put all my books on hold at the library.

I was supposed to take African American Lit and was really looking forward to it, but turns out the prof I would have to have was not so good and the "literature" he uses is his own writing.

And he's not published.
