I could probably do that, Wolfram.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

The Buffista Book Club: the Harry Potter iteration
This thread is a focused discussion group. Please see the first post below for the current topic and upcoming book discussions. While natter will inevitably happen, we encourage you to treat this like a virtual book club and try to keep your posts in that spirit.
By consensus, this thread is reopened specifically to discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It will be closed again once that discussion has run its course.
***SPOILER ALERT***

I'm always up for Sherlock Holmes. The word we're going for here might be "obsessive." I do have the new annotated Holmes, so I could throw in information from that.

Thanks, Deena.
So is Harry Potter discussion officially done, or should we give it a little more time?

Ann, that's a ferret.
We can keep discussing while reading whatever is chosen next?

Ginger, if we go with HotB, are you up for being our guide?

I'm okay with that. I was just wondering if maybe people who didn't want to be spoiled for HBP might want to re-enter the thread to discuss the next selection. Of course those folks may be only hypothetical and not actually exist.

How is this different from the Baring-Gould annotated Holmes?

Oooh. Fun!
I've had a copy of the Complete Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes (with all 356 original illustrations by Sidney Paget) for nearly 30 years.
It's basically scanned pages of the Strand from July 1891 to December 1892. Complete with dodgy type. Very cool.
Haven't read it in at least 15 years. Go HotB. Choose HotB!

Because books.
Anyone else want to throw in some more suggestions? And what's the plan for voting on the next read?
