Buffistas

Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

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."

While nothing can keep me from diving head first into the book...though I'm conceding to skip the midnight distribution because I'm starting out at 6am the next day to walk 10 miles in ugly heat...the NYTimes review has taken just the teeniest edge off my zeal.

I'm expecting ti be exhausted in the way that Harry's unrelenting whinging in GoF wore me out. Oh my. I do so love these characters...

Also, what's his name from Chamber of Secrets wasn't a minion of evil, just incompetent and unscrupulous.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Woe to the fucking wicked.

sumi, I would choose specialists. A creatures person one year, a spells person another, etc, etc, so that, over 7 years, everyone would have learned from The Expert on each sub-topic.

Maybe he tried that and they wound up horribly dead and he didn't want to risk it. (Perhaps Lupin knew the risks when he took the job -- in fact I'm certain that both Mad-Eye and Lupin knew the risks because they're OotP members.)
