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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Heh. I hate to be snotty, but from one of the only bad reader reviews
(2 stars) This is by far one of the boringest books I have ever read. I was laborious to read. THe reading does not flow well it jumps illogically in various parts. You don't really care for the characters or what happens to them you just want to put this book down. Also, I think it was poorly written.
Price at Amazon is as low as $1 used! Good Choice!

I think we have a winner. Once again, I am really flattered that I have the honor of selecting the first book for the club, even though I really don't think I deserve it any more than any of you (but you can't argue with consensus.) Thank you.
The first selection for Book Club will be: The Intuitionist, by Whitehead, Colson. Discussion begins August 15, 2004.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Woo-hoo!
I guess that info should go in Lilty's post?

And we're off!
Gotta go pay my library fine now. Which is not a complaint. Slacker patron, I am.

Excellent! I'm off to the bookstore for lunch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've skipped like a stone skipping over stuff that is skipped... and I've never been in a book club. So, we're supposed to be done reading it by Aug 15?
(For some reason, I had envisioned book clubs where you read a few chapters and discuss those, and then read a few more chapters and dicsuss at the next meeting.)

Ooh, now I'll finally get my act together and get a library card here. I'm pretty sure there's a library somewhere in my neighborhood.

I believe discussion lasts a month. I think you should not expect to remain unspoiled if you take part in the thread without having read the intuitionist from Aug 15th forward.
