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."

Joins Dana in the hissing and throwing, which I did do to Tess. God, that girl's whining got to be waaay too much for me--I just wanted to smack her and say, "Get over it!"
Of course, I feel the same way when I have to watch Gone with the Wind--Scarlett drives me bonkers.

Thomas Hardy deserves something stronger than tomatoes.

Tinned tomatoes?

Tinned tomatoes?
Maybe the giant HRI (hotel, restaurant and institution) size.

Don't forget, I think tomatoes are pretty gross.
Twice, once in high school and once in grad school, I had to read Jude the Obscure. I didn't make it through either time. About 50 pages from the end, it's all too ridiculous.

Did you get as far as young Jude killing the little girls and hanging himself? The only book I had to read that I hated more was Ethan Frome.

I did, I did. Since I was being tested on it and all that, I read a summary.
Ethan Frome, on the other hand, I liked. I like Wharton. I don't mind people whose lives are inevitably going to suck. It's just the ridiculous pile of coincidences and stuff that happen in Hardy.

I have an upper limit on life suckage.

Every time I re-read Jane Austen she gets funnier. I think she's best appreciated once one is into one's 30s.
