Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

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."

Hey, timeline stuff for Harry Potter. (I don't know why I think this is important - but apparently I do and need reassurance that I have it right.)

50-some years prior to HP - Hagrid and Tom M. Riddle were at Hogwarts.

Almost 50 years prior to HP - Eileen Prince was at Hogwarts.

At least 10 years after that - Snape, J. Potter, Lily, Remus and Sirius were at Hogwarts.

Is that right?

Because books.

Oooh! While we're asking HP questions, someone remind me what a squib is?

Somebody with wizarding parents who displays no magical talent.

I have to admit that the most exciting thing about my day was signing up for HP7 at my new local bookstore.

Thanks, sumi. I'm bad with facts, so I'm going to let someone with a better memory than mine answer your questions.

Yay, megan!

I don't know how many Chicagoistas spend their time downtown, but I have found my new favorite used book store: After Words on Illinois. New & used books upstairs, a giant basement of used books downstairs, and a store cat.

I guess today is the day that Cormac McCarthy appears on Oprah.

Do you think he'll kill her?

Hey. New board.

I think LibraryThing combined with Delicious Library on my Macbook is going to be a beautiful thing. I may have my weekend planned (up to the Tony Awards, that is)

ETA: Oh yeah, I came in here to say that this thread inspired me to start reading a lot of Lois McMaster Bujold. I finished the Young Miles compendium ( The Warrior's Apprentice, The Vor Game, and "The Mountains of Mourning") in about a day and a half. They were very good. I'm about 50 pages into the first novel in the i Miles, Mystery, and Mayhem compendium ( Cetaganda is the original title) now.

I had forgotten how much I love a well-written space opera. I can really fall into these characters, and I'm even starting to figure out the politics of the universe.
