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."
You haven't even hit the Harry Potter section yet!
I was so glad to see he still goes to school but I suppose he must, if he grows up to be himself. Right now I'm in my head yelling at him that man knows you! He called you by name and you never told him! Why do you think he keeps saying things your dad used to say?! sheesh.
Wait, who are you talking about in your whitefont?
maybe I'm reading too much into it and introductions were implied in the text but I'm talking about... crud I forget his name: the skinny old storyteller.
Skarpi? I don't think he knows Kvothe before he meets him. Or do you mean wossname, Tapis, who tells the story of Tehlu? Either way.
I do mean Skarpi. When he gets arrested he says something like, "Kvothe- there's nothing you can do- get out of here." but I paged back and couldn't find a passage with Kvothe telling Skarpi his name .
Hrm. Interesting. Kvothe is pretty sharp, though, and I think he would have picked up on that, just as he picked up on Haliax. Which was a totally awesome moment, and I love that he acknowledged that we were in a better position to pick up on it than he was, so it wasn't as OMG IMMEDIATE for him as it was for us.
I got mad the second time he told us readers that he shouldn't go into detail about certain horrors and then proceeded to go into detail anyway.
Librarian types, I need help deciphering something. I was on BN.com earlier looking to replenish some supplies and I found this: [link]

I mean, Paw Prints? WTF? Some cursory searching seems to indicate this is a Library Binding, which his why I ask here. Any ideas? Suggestions?
Library binding is a way to make the spine extra strong for repeated abuses by the book's reader(s). I just had a woman pick up her special order of the last four Harry Potter books all in library binding. She already had the first three and told me that she prefers the stronger binding for the bigger books.
Barb, I looked up Adios on Ingram (which we use for fiction ordering at my library) and the library binding edition is published by Topeka Bindery for $13.86, ISBN: 9781417812585. So that's not the same one. I've never heard of Paw Prints and they don't appear to be an imprint of S&S. Weird!
