(question: the "link" in the description should be to post #2, the first post, right?)
That is actually something I wanted to confirm, Jon ... I think it was decided it should be the first post in this thread. Can someone confirm?
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

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.

Name it what you like, I'm just here for the books.
Yes ... I figured that out from previous posts. It is my nature to want the minutia out of the way.

The description only ever comes up if you're on the first page, right? On which the first post is clearly visible? Can't we just say, like, "See below" or something?

Yep, we could, P-C. I bet either way is fine.

Hey, my Nabokov & Ozeki recommendations fell off!
Anyway, if I have to hone down to two from the seven I've recommended, I'll go with House of Sleep by Jonathan Coe and The Intuitionist by Colson Whitehead. Unless some of y'all are dying to read or re-read Pale Fire, in which case I'm for Nabokov.

Because books.
Jen, if you need a second to take the thread titling stuff to Bureau, count my hand as up.

Fixed. Sorry 'bout that. Several others got cropped as well, but they are back on now.
Let the titling proceed. I think we have bullshitted our consensus (or consensed our bullshit).

Three yeas and one whatever work for me. I'll post it in Bureau, amended per P-C's suggestion, which is of the sense-making variety. Anything lingering on this can go to Bureau.
Also? I keep meaning to say an official "hi" to AmyLiz, whom I've seen post in a thread or two where I lurk ... but I don't think we've ever posted together, so, "Hi!"

Hi, Jen! And thanks for the welcome. I've been looking forward to this thread, so I'll be around here a lot.
