River ,'Objects In Space'
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 just finished The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Damn, that was a cool book . It looks giant and think and slightly intimidating - esp since it is a kid's book. But there are lots of drawings - and the story gets more and more intricate as it goes along. I love that the reason for all the drawings is perfectly clear by the end of the book.
HAs anyone read MArk Anderson's Shakespeare by Another Name? It looks really interesting; his website has podcasts on it, and they are pretty interesting. And it's gotten some excellent reviews.
I am buying that book tat that website is about, because that website is truly awesome.
I just heard the first podcast; it's realllllly fascinating! I think I'll order the book....through school! It's totally germane, right?
From Wizard News:
Amazon guarantees release-date delivery of Deathly HallowsJust as it has done for previous Harry Potter books, Amazon.com today confirmed that it has teamed with UPS and the U.S. Postal Service to deliver Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to the doorsteps of excited fans across the country on Saturday, July 21.
Good for McCarthy. It's an amazing book, if in no way a cheerful one.
I really need to set my Tivo for the Oprah episode where they talk about it, because I'm having a hard time imagining their responses. It's really not much of a redemptive story.
So, that Oprah hasn't happened yet?
You know, I don't know. Guess I should check.
The problem with Amazon delivery, even if it happens on the 21st, is that it happens at 2 p.m. in the afternoon -- and I can go down to Target at 8 a.m., get a copy for the same price and start reading!
