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
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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."

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.
