Huh, that's sort of why I thought it was the perfect ending. I didn't like it, but it sort of felt like the only way to go.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I wanted something more on the lines of homicide-suicide. He drives them off a cliff.

I didn't like it, but it sort of felt like the only way to go.
Yeah, that was kind of how I felt about it too.
Gone Girl was a pageturner for sure, and there were some things I liked about it, but so much of the characterization just did not work for me, and all the hype about how it's a book about marriage and men and women and blah blah blah... uh, if you're married to a total psychopath (sociopath?), then perhaps it would give you some insight into your own marriage, but otherwise it didn't seem to have a whole lot to say about actual human relationships.

That which does not kill you should RUN
Has anyone read Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore? I read the Kindle sample, and the wait list at my library is 145 people, so I think I might be buying it. t /no impulse control when it comes to books t /or anything

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Kate,
there is no insight into actual human relationships I don't think.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yes, I read it. I found it mostly cute, although there were moments I did love. I certainly enjoyed it. If you want a little more detail, it's kind of a cross between an old-school treasure hunt kind of thing and a new technology world.

I'm good with cute. The Kindle sample definitely caught my attention. (Which might be a hilariously ironic statement, given what I think is the nature of the story.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Dana, that sort of sounds like a bibliophile version of Ready Player One.

There are definitely some similarities to Ready Player One, but it's much less agressively, um....less nerd-culture oriented? It's like the difference between reading a book and playing a video game.
