Also some semi-explicit sex scenes that aren't appropriate for some 11YOs.
Maybe not, but I read 'em anyway.
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."

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

“Not dead yet!”
I read WIFEY when I was twelve.
Got suspended for it, too.

That which does not kill you should RUN
I thought the next Rothfuss book was due this month
I, uh, actually have the release dates for upcoming books on my iCal. (I don't know who Rothfuss is, but I have other books on my calendar.) (Shut up.)

P-C, you stop pimping books to me! I'm still waiting on the library for 4 & 5 of Scott Pilgrim, and then I still need to read 100 Bullets.
Big pimp.
Not to mention (unrelated to P-C pimpage) that I just got Anathem from the library, and while I can't wait to get into it, I admit the size of it cowed me for a minute.
Just finished Peeps last night, which I thought was clever and fun.
All the books I've read recently have had similar themes running through them, though I didn't pick them on purpose. It's an eerie synchronicity.

Ooooooooooooh! I've been wanting to reread this, but it's a pretty big time committment. I may make it my Canada book this year.

Sorry! (Not actually sorry.)
Big pimp.

Because books.
I read WIFEY when I was twelve.
I vividly remember a bunch of passing around Forever in fourth grade.
