We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."

Jen, synchronicity.
Ooo, I love it when stuff like that happens.
I bought a copy of What Would Buffy Do?: The Vampire Slayer as Spiritual Guide yesterday. I've got some quibbles with the writing style so far (too many adverbs set my teeth on edge--it's not necessary to begin every declarative sentence with "clearly" or "interestingly") but the author knows her stuff and there's some really great analysis. I recommend.

So I gave I, Vampire another try this weekend. Nope, it's just not doing it for me. Off it goes to the giant pile of vampire books to be sold back to Half Price Books.

I re-read the Sonja Blue trilogy, and everytime I read it, I like it less.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Jen, I remember reading your copy of Reading the Vampire Slayer, and passing it on to Jon B. -- but that was at the *2002* F2F. After that I don't know.

Thanks, Steph; I'll ask him what he did with it when he was done.

I am about to start reading "Random Family" for my bookclub. Has anyone hear read it?
Also, I saw HP this weekend and saw a poster for the Series of Unfortunate Events movie. So Jim Carrey, who I am not generally a fan of, and the boy looked too old. As for HP. I think they did a good job about pulling lots of the extra stuff in order to keep the movie focused and moving. If I am remembering the book correctly, the only thing left out that I really missed was the explanation of the map and some discussion about animangus (sp?). Also, liked soem of the new set stuff we got to see and not sure if I liked it or not, buit so much more of this one was outside.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I'm with you, msbelle. I couldn't help but sit with a silly grin on my face for the whole movie, but I would have liked another maybe 10 minutes to further discuss the Animagi, the origin of the map, and the story of the Secret Keeper. Maybe just more time in the Shrieking Shack.

I wanted the bit at the end where Harry is explaining to the Dursleys about his escaped convicted murderer godfather who takes his welfare very seriously.
