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're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I ordered the book from Amazon, so it should be showing up on my doorstep in eight more days.

Me, too! I was tempted to give my money to the local independent children's bookstore (who are hosting a kickass HP day next Friday for the entire community), but they're only giving a 20% discount. Also, the idea of standing in line for an hour or so had no appeal for me whatsoever.

I'm not sure if I'll read it in one gulp that weekend, or save it

My friend Tami has threatened to beat me upside the head if I do what I did with OotP and read it in one sitting. It only took about nine hours--what's wrong with that? I figure if I tell her I'll take it to the park to read, so at least I'm getting some fresh air at the same time, she won't have cause to complain.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ok, this seems completely normal to me. The thought of putting down an engrossing book to "save" it? Is like telling a junkie to only push the syringe down HALFway.

I love being that engrossed! All day readAthon! Sounds like fun. Throw in a basket of chilicheese fries, and I think I'd take it over an orgasm.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

DH will be at ComicCon when our copy arrives, so I get to read it first. Yay!

I haven't read a new-to-me full-mind immesrion I-frickin-LOVE-this book in SO long. I am jonseing. I have fines at the library, I have gone through my friends' bookshelves.

I KNOW my little sister has a stack a mile high...but she's 70 miles away and spening money on gas to visit isn't doable. Damn, I haven't seen my fam since April.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Of course, I just realized that I'm going to be at a science fiction convention the weekend it comes out, so there's a possibility I might be able to find it...:)

You might be beaten to death with a replica light saber.

Be careful.
