The spoilers are 90% certain. The way they are phrased, they could be tricksy foilers.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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."

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" .

Fiver, at first. He reminded me of Ender. But then, as I read more, Hazel reminded me more of Ender.
And I really liked Bigwig.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
so if you had never read any Jules Verne, but were thinking about it, where would you start?

Hey. New board.
20,000 leagues is probably the best. My dad has a big love-on for Journey to the Center of the Earth. Either would serve.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The only Verne I've actually read is Around the World in 80 Days and From the Earth to the Moon (I think, that second might be one of his other moon books, I'm not sure). I'd recommend 80 Days, personally, it's pretty entertaining and doesn't have any speculation that has since been proven false (which can be entertaining in its own right, but takes me out of the story).
