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."

I did read the novelization of the Coppola movie! Does that count?

As a violation of the space-time continuum, yes.

For October reading rituals, I like A Night in the Lonesome October, by Roger Zelazny--if I can find my damned copy!

I have the two paperbacks with the tie-in covers for the Coppola movie, and I've got the various paperback versions that B&N re-releases. Other than that, I will take any edition. The older the better, of course. Thank you for looking!

I have three hours to myself other than customers, I plan on scanning all the shelves anyway. Though we don't get much in terms of older books. I also plan on pulling the sci-fi stuff from the fiction section and putting them where they belong.

Pumpkin, there is not enough ::facepalm:: in the WORLD to convey my reaction to that.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

That reminds me, I need to find a copy of Bradbury's The Halloween Tree to reread this October.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The Haunting of Hill House, that's MY Halloween read.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Code Name Verity broke me.

Oh dear. I'm in the middle of it now, and I'm loving it (and still holding out for something to "save" it). I tried to resist it for the longest time because of the subject, but I accidentally read the first several pages on Amazon or somewhere and was hooked. Am I going to be heartbroken?
