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 generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Ita: I caught that - almost immediately. But not quite.

There's a great website called The Invisible Library, which is:
a collection of books that only appear in other books. Within the library's catalog you will find imaginary books, pseudobiblia, artifictions, fabled tomes, libris phantastica, and all manner of books unwritten, unread, unpublished, and unfound.
Lots of fun poking through and seeing titles such as "Who Is This God Person, Anyway?" listed!

My favorite part of Samuel Delaney's Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand is the long section detailing the masterpieces of future fiction and poetry. He made me long for books that never existed.

Has anyone ever read Sorcery and Cecilia? I saw it referred to as "a delightful little trifle that’s what might have resulted if Jane Austen had learned to write at Hogwart’s School for Witchcraft and Wizardry." I'm thinking about stopping by the local Borders on the way home to see if they have it in stock.

Yes, and it's oodles of fun. You should get it.

I've read it. I'd call it "if Jane Austen had learned to write Young Adult fiction at Hogwart's".
