Buffistas

Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

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

Closed Threads

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."

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I have no idea. There's a couple of characters in the novel that look exactly like some Bordertown characters, but act entirely differently.

I'm told (and Micole would know more than I) that The Last Hot Time is actually a roman a clef about ... I dunno. People that Ford knows. But there's also the whole thing that the plot is so well-hidden you have to read it three times to have it make any sense.

I always feel deeply stupid after reading a novel by John M. Ford. IJS.

If I only had a brain...

Me, too. But in a good way.

I bought more Laurel K. Hamilton Anita Blake books after reading my first one. I plead Buffy withdrawal.

Oh, I've read zillions of Anita Blake; I did so even when they slipped from "bad but I'm enjoying them anyway" to "What WAS I thinking?" to "If this is porn, I've read better". I actually thought the third Merry Blake book was better than the first two, which just shows you.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I've read all the Anita Blake books, and I'm beginning to weary of them too. I never thought I'd say this, but I'd like just a little plot between sex acts.

Actually what I jumped in to say was that all Buffistas need to buy Eats, Shoots and Leaves: A Zero-Tolerance Approach to Punctuation at once.

It's funny and true. And has pandas on the cover!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Raquel! I'm reading that right now and it's absolutely hysterical.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh no! It's Prescriptivists vs. Descriptivists again!

Didn't you see the smackdown The New Yorker gave to Eats, Shoots and Leaves?

Isn't it? I bought it for airplane reading and giggled out loud the whole way. I just ordered a copy for one of my dear friends, who is also a Stickler. She's always used the phrase "eats, shoots and leaves" as an example, and her partner (who always gets sayings screwed up) uses "eats, shoots and ladders."
