I hate bringing up administrative stuff, but we still don't have a book to follow Small World. I think the last consensus was that we'd make a list of Buffistas who volunteer to choose a book for the club, and find some random way to choose one. Does that sound right?
Riley: No pulse. Anya: Yup. The space lamb got 'im.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
What is the discussion date for Small World ?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
BTW Hec, I'm really enjoying this book. I need to steal a highlighter (maybe several in different colors) to mark all the stuff.

So glad. When I first moved to LA back in '85, my couch-surf hosts had it lying around and I was totally absorbed in it. Just an incredibly fun read.

Just sent a request for it on inter-library loan fro the University Library's website.
So convenient to be able to be a demanding patron from the comfort of your own home.

It really is fun. It's nice to lighten up the reading after Asher too.

I'm about 30 pages in, but as usual, I'm cheating with several other books that keep giving me the come-hither.
But in related news, can we start compiling a list of Buffistas who are interested in volunteering to pick a book?
