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."

The first three books were probably more edited. I'd hate to see what didn't make the cut in OotP.

this book prompted some of the best discussion my book club has had in the 5 years or so we've been meeting. Tonight we're discussing the Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri, which I enjoyed. It was very easy to read, but I thought she did a great job illustrating the main characther's alienation from both his Indian parents and mainstream America at the same time, particularly in his high school and college years.

Weren't people talking about House of the Scorpion recently? It's been optioned for a movie.

I can't even.
Has anyone else read Lewis Shiner's Say Goodbye: The Laurie Moss Story (1999)?
I had read his Deserted Cities of the Heart and Glimpses years ago, and enjoyed them both very much.
I just finished Say Goodbye tonight (after staying up until 4am last night, absorbed in it).
