Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

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."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Thanks P-C. I was just coming back to post that.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I first read The Mists of Avalon around that age, or a little older. I loved it then, though I don't really remember how scary it was.
I didn't read it until I was a good bit older (I was in college when it came out). Possibly a bit on the scary side, but not extremely so. Also some semi-explicit sex scenes that aren't appropriate for some 11YOs.
It's also a very long book -- 800 or 900 pages. So not for the short attention spanned.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Maybe not, but I read 'em anyway.

“Not dead yet!”
I read WIFEY when I was twelve.
Got suspended for it, too.

I thought the next Rothfuss book was due this month
I, uh, actually have the release dates for upcoming books on my iCal. (I don't know who Rothfuss is, but I have other books on my calendar.) (Shut up.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

P-C, you stop pimping books to me! I'm still waiting on the library for 4 & 5 of Scott Pilgrim, and then I still need to read 100 Bullets.
Big pimp.
Not to mention (unrelated to P-C pimpage) that I just got Anathem from the library, and while I can't wait to get into it, I admit the size of it cowed me for a minute.
Just finished Peeps last night, which I thought was clever and fun.
All the books I've read recently have had similar themes running through them, though I didn't pick them on purpose. It's an eerie synchronicity.
