Buffistas

Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I hadn't heard of it before, and I was only vaguely aware of Richard Osman. I guess the second one set some kind of record for sales? Something.

Anyway, haven't seen Only Murders in the Building yet but from the ads I can see where there might be kinship

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Things to know about Richard Osman:

He is very smart.

He is very tall.

I had no idea of the tallness. Okay!

There's a 45 minute conversation included at the end of The Thursday Murder Club between him and another author whose name I didn't catch but she wrote The Grown-ups, I think? It's also a good listen. So at this point that is mostly how I know him, I suppose.

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

My hold came in at the library so I just started Thursday Murder Club last night. I'm quite enjoying it so far.

I like the Paladin books but I really want more Swordheart as well!

Agreed, Consuela. Beartongue meantioned "swords" in Paladin's Grace, so now I want to know what happened.

I have faith we will get more swords. I’m being very patient about it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, there are two more swords out there ... they deserve their own books.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

If you're reading - or rereading - Dune before the release of the new film, I found this essay worth a look.

Not rereading, (I think I remember enough from my last reread? That may be foolish, we shall see) but that looks fascinating
