We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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."

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

Also some semi-explicit sex scenes that aren't appropriate for some 11YOs.

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.

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.

Because books.

I read WIFEY when I was twelve.

I vividly remember a bunch of passing around Forever in fourth grade.
