I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

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."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Dude! Knut's Superpowers was nominated for a Nebula Award!

Even cooler is the fact that (he explained in LJ) Superpowers wasn't on the "long list" of potential nominees; however, he ended up on the final ballot because of book jury had the option of choosing one book to add to the list.

And they picked Superpowers to add to the ballot! Go Knut!
