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."

Always Anti-fascist!

We go back to the Trail of Tears in four easy generations. But I still can't be real Indian, though. No jump shot.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My family (OK, one great-grandmother's family) somehow skipped the whole Trail of Tears trip. Not sure how they managed it, but they ended up in North Carolina.

Kate Beaton on the recent Austen re-visionings. Golly, I love Hark, A Vagrant!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I really like the Jane Austen mystery series by Stephanie Barron, but it started before this craze really took off.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oh, I've read one of those, and I agree it was perfectly enjoyable.

Angelina Jolie's going to be Kay Scarpetta.

“Not dead yet!”

According to Variety, neither really:

There are 16 Scarpetta novels, meaning a franchise is hoped for, but this film won't be tied to a specific Cornwell mystery title. Much the way that Jason Bourne morphed into an action hero in plots not rigidly locked into the Robert Ludlum book series, the opera-loving coroner Scarpetta will be the lead in a suspense thriller in the vein of "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Seven."
