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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh no! I read Faking it after Temptation. So, no, I have NOT read Crazy for You.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I really liked Crazy For You, but it felt a bit...rushed, for lack of a better word, at the end. I could have read about 50 more pages and then WHAM "The End".

I think Crazy for You is the one I started and finished on the plane on Saturday. I liked it better than Tell Me Lies, about the same as Fast Women, and not quite as much as Faking It, which so far is still my favorite. I haven't read Welcome to Temptation yet, though, it's next on my list.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I don't think I read Tell Me Lies. I didn't like Crazy For You, because it was just creepy. Fast Women was a little confusing. And I love Faking It and Welcome to Tempation, in that order.

Tell Me Lies is kinda effed up.
I like Crazy For You, becuase it was sorta creepy. The "fiance who wouldn't leave" was a certfiable NUTBAR.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I honestly don't think Anne Rice is worthy to clean erika's shoes with half her overinflated, device-heavy, repetitive, unedited manuscripts.
And Ms. Rice, besides needing a clue and a good editor, does not deserve one of our Anne's sweaters. Which (rubbing hands gleefully) I happen to possess, and wanted in Seattle, believe me.

(picturing this) ME: And make sure you don't miss a spot. These are suede. Use the prologue...modern readers don't like 'em anyway. RICE: They don't?! ME: Not when they're long like that they don't. Trust me.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I bought "Girl with a Pearl Earring" last night and read it, and didn't love it. It was fine, but not particularly engaging.
I don't understand all the hype and glowing reviews.Sometimes, I wonder how MUCH book reviewers actually read -- I mean, how many books they plow through in a week. Sometimes, it seems to me that they are overly lavish with their praise on books that aren't that amazing, if you've read a goodly amount of books.
It wasn't bad certainly, and I think it will be a lovely movie. But the book? Left me wanting more detail.

Erin, I had that reaction to Chevalier the first time through. But then I found myself imagining bits she'd left out, and that left me wishing I'd written the thing, and that made me go back and read it again, and I found that my own head had put things in the second time around - I ended up feeling almost proprietarial about it.
