Oh no! That's terrible news.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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 then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You have to respect a guy who proposed by asking his significant other if she'd do him the honour of being his widow.
I like his books too, but...that just made things extra real.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Interesting! I'll have to play around with that. Not that I need more book recommendations, just to see what it does.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Fun concept, but definitely still needs work. Took me 3 tries to get it to recognize a book, then the suggestions weren't all that. Hopefully, it's one of those things that learns as it gets used.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
What ET said.
The site didn't recognize the last 3 books I read. Which actually gave me a bit of a complex.

Okay, tried again, using le n's "last 3" model. Did much better - current book recognized and other books in same series recommended; didn't get 3rd Montmaray book, but had the first 2; got the recent Niffenegger, though I'm not sure about the recs.
So maybe it is learning...or my last 3 books are less obscure than my first sample (though really, the one it didn't recognize was Time Traveler's Wife - it got Her Fearful Symmetry, but not Niffenegger's actually famous, made into a movie book?)

Is anyone here reading Scalzi's "The Human Division?"
