Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Spoilers for the next HP book.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

How spoil-y?? Like on a scale from "Hermione shags Ron" to "Neville gets killed"?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

They are middling spoilers (so-and-so will have an important role in the book 7) except the one about Snape where she answered the question about whether he was on the side of the good or evil.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I LOVE that the biggy came as a result of Salman Rushdie asking a question.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

The spoilers are 90% certain. The way they are phrased, they could be tricksy foilers.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

Apparently, Salman, Salman's nine year old son, and I have been sharing a theory since book 6 came out. I think that's almost as cool as it is that we're (spoiler if you're familiar with my opinions of HP) "basically right" .
