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."
Oh, I want Deena's Christmas books! I got no books, but I do have a couple of gift coupons. I'm thinking the LotR Weapons and Warfare, and a long afternoon's perusal to help decide how to use up the rest of the coupon.
Deb, that was an awesome and well-deserved review!
Has anyone here read, "The Meaning of Everything: The Story of the Oxford English Dictionary," by Simon Winchester?
I haven't read it but I really want to. My mother got it for Christmas so hopefully she'll mail it to me after she and my sister read it.
That was a wonderful and well-deserved review.
My christmas books were Buffista gifties, Bev, so you can see why they'd be such the perfect choices.

Just got it for Christmas - I loved his first one, and I'm expecting to love this one.
I was just buying books with my gift card. I got a Margaret Atwood The Blind Assassin and a book about writing for television called "The First Time I got Paid for It"(Great title and one of the pulp babes on the cover.)
I got a Margaret Atwood The Blind Assassin
I loved this book - it's probably my favourite Atwood.
book about writing for television called "The First Time I got Paid for It"
har. I want to own this on principle.
I got several books, but I'm blanking on most of them. What I do remember: Madeline Albright's autobiography, Gabriel Garcia Marquez's memoir and a Hillerman book on the places and people in the Leaphorn and Chee books.
I loved the Blind Assassin too
Good to know! And yeah, I'll let you know how the second one is, too...v.sexy Buffistaish cover however.
