I'm all proud of myself for going to my local independent bookstore (two of them, actually), though in fact they're the only ones anywhere near me and I'd even forgotten about them until a couple days ago. Why are there three in one block, though?

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."

Quick question about Chapter 1: isn't Voldemort a NON pureblood? So his Hitler-like quest to purify the wizarding world is awfully self-hating. Which is, I guess, just like Hitler. Am I remembering correctly?
Am 100-ish pages in. Went hiking. Must read more.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Matt finished the book about 1115 - i had to be at work at noon. I stopped , got a pizza and it is going to be pizza wine and book - but I still had to come here first. Partly because I don't want it to end...BUT I can't wait.

Taking a break after the first 100 pages. She is good at pacing, isn't she? Such an easy read!

I just picked up my copy at Barnes and Noble. I still have to finish reading 6 first.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'm doing an unspoiled chapter-by-chapter over at my livejournal. It should be fun, documenting how WRONG some of my guesses are.

Goodness. 500 pages in, and there's still a good-sized book left to read!

I'm on page 578. I want to know what happens, but I also don't want it to end!
