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."

Numbats are the cutest things on the planet, but they just don't sound like they can be smart, do they?
My step-mom just sent me The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. Loving this book. I almost finished it in one day.

Isn't it incredible, Raquel. The story is, of course, but the language is just so...rich, too. It's like reading velvet. I cried like a baby when I was done with that book.

Jeez, obsessed much?
I read LOTR as LOTS.
Which made me think:
"Why do they bother, Frank?"
"I don't know, Tim. Rings make you stupid."
Hee.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Have you seen them on David Attenborough's Life of Mammals? So gorgeous, sitting around and poking their tongues out at each other.

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

I adored this book, and also read it quickly. Unfortunately, I have heard that her subsequent work isn't nearly as good, although I haven't tried it myself.

I picked up a romance novel for 25 cents because it's got the great "gorgeous orphan who might be a missing princess" plotline. The gauche brute who is apparently the hero of the piece siezes her in a fit of passion and lays a kiss on her. He tries to French kiss her, and she yanks loose. "You licked me!" I dropped the book, laughing. It might be a keeper just for that.

A depressing piece from Salon:
"Gabriel García Márquez appears to have finally succumbed to Hollywood's call, signing over the film rights to 'Love in the Time of Cholera,'" reports the Guardian. Marquez reportedly sold the story to Stone Village Pictures for between $1 million and $3 million, and while no directors or cast have been set, "the names of Nicole Kidman (!?!!?!!) and Jude Law (!?!!?!)are already circulating" for the romantic leads. Marquez, despite selling millions of books through the years, is believed to be worried about his finances after several bad investments. The writer, 76, is battling cancer, and has also faced attacks in recent years (most prominently by Susan Sontag) because of his fierce loyalty to Fidel Castro.
