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."

You're The Things They Carried! by Tim O'Brien Harsh and bitter, you tell it like it is. This usually comes in short, dramatic spurts of spilling your guts in various ways. You carry a heavy load, and this has weighed you down with all the horrors that humanity has to offer. Having seen and done a great deal that you aren't proud of, you have no choice but to walk forward, trudging slowly through ongoing mud. In the next life, you will come back as a water buffalo.

Oh, that's frickin' cheerful. Also, never heard of it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Also, never heard of it.

Gritty, realistic Vietnam account. Most often read by boomers in search of gritty, realistic Vietnam account or college history students whose profs want them to read a gritty, realistic Vietnam account.

(eta: huh. This may be why I proved too cynical for the book world.)

Oooh! I was wondering when The Grand Tour was due out.

I got Watership Down on the book quiz. I'm particularly amused by the last two lines of the description: "You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits."

I'll be sitting over here with the Devilbunny, giggling.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I was A Prayer for Owen Meany. I didn't want to be that, so I tried again. Then I was Love in the Time of Cholera. Do over. Then I was Catch-22, which I can live with.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm The Poisonwood Bible.
