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."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

More Austen knock-offs. Now she's a member of the vampire resistance fighting the French. Because... well, yeah, I have no farkin' clue.
Janet Mullany's THE IMMORTAL JANE AUSTEN, a humorous novel about Jane Austen in Regency England who joins the vampire resistance in Bath when England is invaded by French forces, to May Chen at Harper, in a nice deal, in a two-book deal,

I'd probably check that out of the library, at least.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I started reading Revolutionary Road (never saw the movie), and it's just ugh. I want to smack them and make them grow up. (Which I realize is kind of ironic, given that their misery seems to be 90% caused by them doing what they think "grown ups" should do...) Will anything happen later in the book to change this, or should I just stop reading?

It's not a happy book in the slightest, Jesse, and the ending is devastating.
The book is a tremendous reflection of its time, but yeah, it's a hard book in terms of wanting to smack the protags.

Yeah, I don't need to reflect on those times in that way. OK, onward and upward!

And that is why I didn't want to watch the movie, and why I stopped watching Mad Men after 2 episodes.
I might have jury duty this afternoon. Cross your fingers that they let me read! (Last time I had jury duty I made it all the way to voir dire and they didn't let you read while you waited in the courtroom...)

At least on Mad Men you don't have to be inside their heads, and you can see the pretty clothes!
