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."

I once read that Tom Robbins moved to Seattle for the climate.
Now there's a book freak for you--move instead of purge!
I also remember reading that Umberto Eco had so many books the floor of his apartment collapsed. Twice. And this was the library he had in his apartment in town - culled from his real library in his house in the country.

The branch library I worked at in the early 1990s had been converted (it was the town's Masonic Hall). One of the major things they did to the building was to reinforce the floors for the weight of the books and shelves.

Oh Kat, I just started it. I'll try and read fast! Probably won't help especially since I'm limited to my 40 minute lunch hour and it will be weeks before I'm finished. Stupid job. I blew through 2 books while we were on our cruise to Mexico just a scant 2 weeks ago. Oh and thank you all for the rec of Gil's All Fright Diner very cute read.

Kat, I read MOST of it at Barnes and Noble the other night, but not ALL of it...so, I have to finish it! :)

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
As another instance of similarities, Williams pointed out that characters in both books call their wives "love."
How convincing!
