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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Still slogging thru Perdido Street Station

Mieville is not a quick, easy read, no. But that book is pretty awesome, even if it leaves you feeling really dirty. We get it, dude, New Crobuzón is REALLY STANK.

I went with Daemon

Ooh, a friend of mine reviewed that a while ago and interviewed the author. It sounds really cool.

Art Crawl!!!

They've made a game based on Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth. Does that sort of thing happen often?

Jilli!! It looks like my B&N isn't going to be getting any copies of your book!! Damnit. I can special order it for myself, but I can't handsell it at the counter.

move out and draw fire

I have that game, and I hate it a lot. Not more than I hate the book, but that would be tough to do.

Awww, drat! I'm kind of surprised they're not getting any, actually.

OH MY GOD PEOPLE! BOOK RELEASE DAY! EEEEEP!

Three other stores near me do have it in stock, but mine is one of two locally that doesn't. Shit.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm waiting until I go to Jilli's signing to purchase a book.
