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.

I would like to point out- since it has no blurb (I think I just put a link there, my bad) LP&L is
not
non-fiction about La's public utilities, but is in fact pretty hilarious and often compaired favorably to Confederacy of Dunces.
Not that I would want anyone to pick it or anything.
Damn, that's a mouth-watering list.
billytea, you and I swapping December and January works fine for me.
Well, I'm out for the Jewish holiday of Shmini Atzeret/Simhat Torah, and won't be back online until Monday. Can someone post in Press the reminder for the discussion date on Small World, and also any subsequent books that get selected? FYI, we've moved to a 4 week/start-on-Monday system so the next three discussion dates would be 11/8, 12/6 and 1/3/05.
Or, if a separate place would be preferred, perhaps P-C's #2 spot (only if you don't mind, P-C)?
Hijack away. I probably won't be stopping in here that often anymore anyway. I've discovered I hardly have time to read books now that classes have started!

Meep. Would it be easier if we went with the Monday closest to the 15th instead of four week rotation, keeping it close to the middle of the month? Or am I the only one whose confidence in my organizational skills is so low that a revolving date seems like too much to remember?
Not that I couldn't, say, write things down. That might also work.
