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."

Art Crawl!!!

I've got the books by my side but I don't recall where they talk about Tonks' broom.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

In the beginning where the Order goes to get Harry from the Dursley's.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

In the beginning where the Order goes to get Hrry from the Dursley's.

That doesn't happen in HBP too, does it? Just in Order of the Phoenix, I thought.

She has a 12:01 am Central time deadline to read and post her review of the book on the Trib's webpage.

Seriously, isn't the book like 700 pages long?

Also, thanks everyone for reminding my sleep-fogged brain that I must NOT check lj today!

That's more than 100 pages per hour -- assuming that she gets the book and immediately starts reading. Perhaps in the cab on the way back to her office? or flat?

In her interview on the radio, the host asked her if she'd be able to meet her deadline, and she assured him that she's a fast reader.

There's an article in the Chronicle about HP, and it contains this puzzling line:

Critics have interpreted the Potter series as political and biblical allegory, as Nietzschean philosophical tract and as an anti-feminist affront.

Anti-feminist? Really? That's new. Why, just because the main character is a boy?
