Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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 did click the link, which is why I was confused. And am even more so, now. It's $9.97. Or it is for me. ...Is this one of those things where they're offering people different prices? That would explain the mutual bewilderment.

It's still a great book!
Oh, I know & agree. I read it a couple of times, but I don't own a copy and should. I think it's on my wish list, which is why I'm wondering if Amazon is trying to mess with me. Grr.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Dang, once again not on the list. I KNEW it would affect my chances if I didn't actually, you know, finish anything this year!

If I only had a brain...

I have the Crusie/dude book. I am having a hard time reading fiction at the moment, so factor that in. It has all the patented Crusie snark, but I'm not finding myself caring about the characters as much as I usually do. YMMV.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Just finished A Million Little Pieces this morning before I came to work. Despite the controversy, it was a fabulous book. I really liked his style of telling "his story".

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

At some point the Pulitzer people will become aware of blogs and enter into the present era.

I have a friend who would swear that would be the novel's death. He has a pedantic streak, though.
