Scholastic actually does a really good job of matching up age with reading level (so if you've got a 1st grader reading at a 4th grade level, you can find more difficult books with stories of interest to a 6 year-old, or vice versa).
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I don't have a good enough memory of canon to do so Anne, but I can't wait to read it at Yuletide!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Thank you, meara! I did get someone to volunteer over in the FF thread, so I'm covered.
Good to know that about Scholastic, Jessica.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am reading Outlander on my Nook, and it's gripping. But I can't work out what I've bought. Is the first book 800+ pages? This might be the end of me.
That and the way she writes pain, the swiving sadist.

Yes, each of the books is ridiculously long.

Shit. Good shit, but shit nonetheless.

I read the first two Outlander books while living in a small house in a rural Greek village with a team of German geophysicists. My German was sort of crappy. It was the perfect situation for 2 800-page novels. (I've never read the rest, maybe because of the subsequent lack of German geophysicists in my life.)
