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."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Looks like it was, in fact, A Discovery of Witches.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I read it...and can't remember what it was about. Quite bland.

Classics besides Jane Austen that pass the Bechdel Test:
The Awakening
Cold Comfort Farm
Gone with the Wind
The Group
Howards End
Jane Eyre
Les Misérables
Little Women
Rebecca
A Room with a View
I’m pretty sure a number of Zola and Balzac novels would pass the test.

Because books.
Wow, I haven't read The Group in years. I had forgotten about that book.

Hey. New board.
Does anyone know what book this is describing?
Definitely A Discovery of Witches. My wife loved the book inordinately.

Harry Potter people help me out?
I was listening to the audiobook of Prisoner of Azkaban last night and what's on my iPod ended with the chapter titled "Hermione's Secret", in which Harry & Hermione go back in time to save Buckbeak and Sirius. The very last bit ends with Sirius & Buckbeak flying away.
There is another chapter after that, isn't there?

Has to be. Harry says goodbye to Remus, for example.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I shall have to wait until I get home to see what's on my hard drive, or if somehow the file with that chapter in it got lost.
I was hoping to start Goblet of Fire during lunch--I guess I can still do that...

There's also Snape flipping out like a mammal when he realizes Sirius has escaped. Love that part.
