A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

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."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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 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 Hallows

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?

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!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yeah - I've cancelled my HP pre-order. Partly because won't be living here, but partly because when book 6 came out, I was in Meijer at 5am and there was the book. Had to wait til 2 to get mine. This time, I'll be in Michigan and not above camping out at Meijer for it.
