Um, good question. Let me see if I can rustle it up.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I think Theodore Sturgeon - or someone writing when he was - did something along those lines.
And with all the zombie stories around now, how would a zombie apocalypse affect Christian celebrations of the eucharist? transubstantiation and all that ....

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I don't think it was Steph's, but I read a long Buffy/Spike that used that premise some time ago.

One problem with Erin's notion - you'd have to keep them separate from each other. If everybody syncs up it defeats the purpose.

I woke up early this morning and couldn't fall back to sleep, so I started reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson, and I just finished it.
Fantastic.

Hey. New board.
Isn't? What an unrealistic but totally awesome-to-read book!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Anyone read The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater? I just got it for Xmas. Apparently it's a YA and my parents heard the author interviewed on NPR.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I read "The Scorpio Races" by her, which I didn't love, but she can certainly write.

I liked Scorpio Races more than I thought I would. My students like The Raven Boys and I thought her werewolf books were good enough. Well, good enough to finish the first but not the rest.
