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."

Yup, what Vortex said. Some of us get paid to sit around being available and looking like we're busy. Internet is OK, but god forbid that management find you reading the paper, much less a novel.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Hell, a lot of us write and read. We loves our internet, we do.
Speaking of writers, I wanted to post this here (as opposed to Great Write, since this is crit). My friend Victoria Zackheim is involved in this, and I've been grinning at the site all moring.
Way to cheer up the writers you love.
And thinking about it, I'll post it in Great Write as well. I love the idea.

I am trying to find book descriptions for some of my older TBR books. Usually I just get these off Amazon, but it seems some of the books are out-of-print and therefore not really on Amazon. Any idea where to look?
Project Gutenberg doesn't have descriptions, neither do library listings.

Try Amazon.co.uk - they list some OOP books.
Library records for children's or YA books often include a book description. The Library of Congress catalogue would be your best bet. For adult books, you may be out of luck, though.
You can always just try searching the net for the title, you might turn up some discussion of the book that way.

I like bibliofind and half dot com for older books; sometimes you get a zealous seller including a description.

Oh yeah, Katerina's definitely right! Try abebooks.com too.

alibris will often have descriptions of their out of print offerings.
