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.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.

I get to pick a book!
happy dancing around the room...
and realizing the terrible pressure. I no longer have many months before the moment of truth. I must choose soon. What if I choose a sucky book?! Should I choose one I've read and know is good, or one that I just really want to read? Good thing I'm not a neurosurgeon or, you know, president of the United States. I would totally crack under the pressure.
deep breath.
I'm a librarian. I can do this. When is it due again?
