It's a Book Club! And I'm in it!
So, what do we do first, choose a book?
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Books smell … musty and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer … it has no … no texture, no context. It’s there and then it's gone. If its to last, then the getting of knowledge should be tangible. It should be smelly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Books.
Huh.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Yay. I care not about the name.
When do we want to start gathering suggestions?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I think first we're going to do some naming?
Personally, I liked the "One Book" tag, and the computers replacing books name.
That's just me.

That works, too! We've really got a plethora of Giles' quotes for future titles.

I like JenP's slug or description or whatever it was.
All the names are good, I don't care which one we go with.
Do we have to decide what sort of books to start with or do we go straight to suggestions?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think we go straight for suggestions, though I would suggest that we don't try like, "Rememberance of Things Past" right off the bat.
ETA- Smelly and the plug are fine with me.
