Cordelia ,'Storyteller'
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."
Scola, I'm a couple eps behind and will be stalled for the next month and a half, so I can't comment on that.
There's apparently some scepticism that Griff is who they say.
Polgara, I tried that before I read the books. It went badly.
Erin, I will be SHOCKED if Jon is/stays dead.
I need book recommendations for a 6 year-old (in two weeks!) who reads at a 3rd grade level. Short chapter book series or comic books would be awesome. He's kind of over Magic Treehouse, and we already own everything Roald Dahl ever wrote.
I'm looking at the 2-3rd grade reading lists on the NYPL site, and I can't tell what's age-appropriate content-wise.

You're going to have to stop being such awesome parents; you're making all the other kids look bad.
I had nothing to do with it! Blame his kindergarten teacher.

The Magic Trixie comics by Jill Thompson? Bone?
The Complete Calvin and Hobbes!
Encyclopedia Brown?
Alfred Hitchcok and the 3 Investigators?
I think when I was reading at a 3rd grade level (in 3rd grade) I was reading All The Animal Stories. So lots of Jim Kjellgaard (Big Red, etc.) and Island of the Blue Dolphins and Black Stallion etc.
Most definitely Bone. And the single-volume collection makes you feel like a badass when you finish the whole thing. There is some fantasy war imagery, though, so look through it, first.
Encyclopedia Brown? Maybe look at some nonfiction zoology or history books? I went on a massive animals kick and had a whole set of books on different animals.
Bone gets pretty dark towards the end, but I think he'd get a kick out of the first two. (And he'll finally understand what DH and I mean when we say "I can't argue with that, but I feel like I should.")
The main problem with Calvin & Hobbes is the complete collection books are too heavy for him to lift.

I started Emmett with the original small trade paper collections, which should be very easy to find at used bookstores.
My brother's old copies are probably still at my parents' house.
