We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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."
It wasn't that article specifically but the entirety of the Onion's coverage-- the "Holy Fucking Shit" issue-- that got to me more than anything else. It felt perfect then and it holds up now.
Oh, I did read that. But it wasn't tear-inducing.
I totally loved the Onion's thing. It definitely reads as well now.
So I am reading Sugar Blues for this nutrition class thing. It was big book in the 70s, right?
That Onion article is a classic. Oddly enough, their bit on explaining September 11 to kids is one of the best things of its kind I've seen.
Chocolate, the story of the Buddha, and a man called Nic?
Works for me.
Not so much the story of the Buddha (though that's fine by me) -- just the idea of reading in general, combined with Nic Cage and chocolate. Yum.
Oooh! Sandman!
