I've just read Insatiable which is the most silly and enjoyable book. Highly recommend!
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

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."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm halfway through Order of the Phoenix on my re-read. How does Harry get the Marauders Map back? The fake Moody takes it in Goblet of Fire, and there's no mention of Harry getting it back, but he has it again in OotP.

Remus gives it back to him at the end of the book.

That's at the end of Prisoner of Azkaban. But then Moody/Crouch takes it in Goblet of Fire.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Rowling said/says that Harry just went back and got it, she just never showed him doing that.

flea, I didn't know you'd read Flann O'Brien -- we should have talked books when we met up on Sunday! I'm reading The Third Policeman right now, AIFG. Also weird. That book gets very weird very quickly. But all the stuff about de Selby is hilarious.

Things I Should Not Do: search "Dracula" on eBay in the Collectible Books section. There's a signed first edition of Dracula up. With a buy it now of $75k.

Dear Jilli: You don't have $75k.
Save your money for that first edition of Something Wicked This Way Comes.

Well, yeah. Which is currently on eBay for $750, which I don't have, either: [link]
