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 seven-legged one was kinda cute as spiders go.

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

I just finished Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. Very reminiscent of Margaret Atwood's "Handmaid's Tale."

Dammit, I was actively looking for this one in the bookstore today. They were out. I got Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex instead.

BTW, Tim Winton's The Turning? I can recommend. A lot.

Well, if Spike had had a sandwich. Or eaten bodybuilders while the creatine was still in their bloodstream...

Actually my first impression was "gym bunny in a Dracula cape."

Because books.

Well, yeah, bulkier. But still enough of a resemblance to make me all eye-rolly.

Of course, bare chest with cape makes me roll my eyes forever all by itself.

Oh dear.

And people wonder why I'm so afraid of reading any vampire romance novels.

As well it should.

t worries that if I sell The Novel, they'll find a way to get Jack bare-chested and be-caped on the cover despite the fact he is invariably capeless, and only shirtless when actually having sex, and sometimes not even then
