I liked Life of Pi a LOT (except the very end, which pissed me off), and I think I'm generally pretty unwilling to read boring.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

P-C, you'll want The Subtle Knife before Amber Spyglass.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Er. Yeah, that's totally what I meant! (Thanks for setting me straight, though; I totally would have gotten the wrong book!)

Tim Cox - Buffy: Anya, that thing you created burst through solid pavement and ate her dog.
Anya (anguished): Oooh, puppy!
I kept reading it in starts and stops because it just couldn't hold my interest.
Thats my problem too, but I started it with only a few weeks before i have to have it done, and now Im down to 3 more days to finish it. 200 pages of boring, then not, then boring in 3 days!

Man, I don't fit in around here, huh? ;)
Probably better than me. My posts are mostly ignored in the Natter thread

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It takes a while for folks to get used to a new person. I remember being thrilled when someone finally noticed one of my posts, long after I delurked.

And natter moves fast....and can make even longtime posters feel like "Didn't anyone SEE my important post about X? Geeez"

Always Anti-fascist!
yes...totally. Hey rookie, paypal me a quarter. Or maybe I should call you Brittany, because I read that your name is Mr. Cox and that ab-so-LUTE-ly sends me to a Perry Cox place. Sorry about that, Sheila.(You know, cause you're a newbie?) And, don't ask. I won't be your mentor ;)
