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."

SH, I think that's gonna leave a stain.

Cracked my glasses, that's for sure.

Anyone read Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?

Yep. I liked it, although it renewed my desire to never live in Sweden.

Kat, I'm just reading it now, I like it. The drawback is I have trouble putting it away if I read at lunch which makes the boss peeved when I'm late getting back to the office.

I'm really enjoying it! Very page turning.

It is that. I haven't enjoyed a traditional mystery that much for quite a while.

I enjoyed it, though was glad that it looks like the next book is about the girl character rather than the journalist guy. I picked it up in an airport the other week when I ran out of books. I didn't understand the whole reveal on the bible verses and how they were named, though. Can anyone explain that? I'd never heard the books referred to like that.

I just love the idea that Trollope is #1.

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

I've read Midnight's Children and Persepolis. I have been planning to read Frankenstein. There are some on that list that I've been vaguely interested in. Most, I think, I've never even heard of.
