Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Buffy ,'Sleeper'


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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Of all the Tolkien-a-likes, he was my favourite.

Time is flying, isn't it?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I didn't know his wife had died in 2007.

Oh, right! Hey, do you have the books? I'd love to borrow them.

Some, not all. I originally read them from the library, and never finished completing my own collection. I think I have all of the Mallorean, but only three of the Belgariad. I have both prequels and the Codex, though.

The Belgariad especially flashes me back to university, but they all remind me pleasantly of Montreal. I don't remember if I read the Codex.

I have it but never read it. Maybe if I reread the series now, I'd be more into it, but when I got it, it had been awhile since the last reread.

I can loan you what I have, just let me know where and when.

Maybe we could do Caffe Urth Melrose this weekend? I can splurge on that, I think.

Might not be able to do it this weekend. Multiple out of towners and a possible freelance client meeting. Next weekend too late?
