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.

Cindy, I'm going to compile a list of recommendations at 2pm board time [cutting off recomendations at 2, that is, and posting the list at 3](unless people think this afternoon is too soon). You don't need to do all that work.

It's a very pretty list, though.

What is even happening?

I figured I'd give you a head start, -t. I had half in my post from yesterday. The recs are long, though. I think putting them in a post is going to amount to putting them in several posts.

If you find it's going to make too long of a list, you can take a short cut of sorts. You can link the post that contains the rec, by right clicking on the post number. The select t Copy Shortcut . Then paste it into your post. You'll get a hyperlink like this: -t "The Buffista Book Club: [insert quotey thing here]" Jul 14, 2004 6:39:02 am PDT

(Forgive me if you already know this. I'm getting offline now, because dh is working from home, so figured it was better to put it in one post.)

Because books.

Cindy, organizing all that is far from lazy. What's lazy is me, who loves lists and categories and order but usually waits for kind souls like you to do it for me.

And I think KristinT's bouncing is contagious, because I'm so excited about this, and I want to know which book to start reading! (Patience, also not one of my virtues.)

Hey, thanks. That's one of those things I should be able to figure out but never in a million years would. Very cool.

Sneaking in while it's a little quiet to see about getting the post colon quote and the description set (I think the slug has been consensed). Here are the frontrunners from a quick scan, maybe we can hava mini deathmatch (I'm tired of looking at the "quotey thing" placeholder):

: Depends on the Book

: Isn't the Point of Computers to Replace Books?

: I-I Must Consult My Books

: It Should Be Smelly

Description (without the part about nattering):

I'll throw "Geez, crack a book sometime" in there...although has that been used already for another thread?

Always Anti-fascist!

Was it a literary once, or did it get voted down? And, Cindy, bwah, but it is not my book. I am a rather devoted Simon's Bitch, though, if that just wouldn't bring up such negative associations in a crime reporter.
