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."

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
Anyone for a round of golf with a couple of Irish writers?
That was excellent.

Hey. New board.
Today's library haul:
The Complete Adventures of Winnie the Pooh because I've never read all of them and feel I simply must.
The Blue Girl and Looking for Alaska because they were both recommended YA fiction on Amazon, and seem to have very different premises (one is fantasy, the other one is... not. I think.)
And, finally:
Foucalt's Pendulum because... you guys were talking about it.
Of course, I'm about 60% of the way through The Mists of Avalon, a depth that has taken me well more than a week to reach, so I may not start any of these for a while. But still. Happy. Books.

That reminds me--I have to drop off my books at the library (one was due back on Monday, so I owe 30 cents), and I want to check out Watership Down now!

D.Gris, that's one of my very favorite recent YA books. I think you'll really like it.

Oh good! Me and my sister are reading Pooh aloud to each other. It makes me want a child.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Most of Eeyore's humor goes right over children's heads, unfortunately.

My mother says that Eeyore and John Munch are the same character.

At our house, Eeyore sounds like Alan Moore.
