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."

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I don't know who Rothfuss is

He is the author of The Name of the Wind, which is awesome.

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

RASL #4 (Wednesday)
Detective Comics #853 (Wednesday)
Asterois Polyp, by David Mazzucchelli (Jun 2)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.

Ooooooooooooh! I've been wanting to reread this, but it's a pretty big time committment. I may make it my Canada book this year.

Sorry! (Not actually sorry.)

Big pimp.

Hee.
