Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

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."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Clearly I need to get more books. I love coming into this thread just to find out about what to read.

Half the stuff on my Nook is novel-length fic. I love thinking, "I really want to read that scene where McKay says such and so," and I can flip to that fic.

I still have most of my fic on my Palm, but the longer stuff is more satisfying to read on a bigger screen--not so much button pushing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Yeah, that's not a surprise, ita. I read FHtE last year, and was surprised that as much of the gay stuff survived editing as it did.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OOh, that's so good.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

This may not be the right place, but were you aware of a team in the Quidditch World Cup?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Quick question....

My school is starting a Before School Book Club and we are hoping to buy books for our kids to keep. We need five titles. We're starting with Cold Kiss and then we'll read Shine. But I need three more titles.

Ideas?

not your mom's socks.
