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."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Sadly, an acquaintenance of mine was raised on the belief that the Illuninati were a real existing organization running the world, and only recently figured out that this is not the case. She is 48...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nuh-uh. Aren't the Illuminati Catholic? They'd be like the anti-Masons.

Along that vein, how does everyone pronounce "mature"?
Depends how fast I am speaking. I say ma-t-u-or when I am speaking slow and mach-uor when I am speaking fast.
I personally believe that English is a living language that is always evolving and changing, so the pronunciation from 100 years ago is not the same pronunciation used today. It doesn't mean that today's pronunciation is wrong, just evolved. And the pretentious "scholars" who think that it is incorrect to pronounce 'what' without the 'h' sound (it's correct to pronounce it either way) need to look around them and see that things change. I'm surprised they are even willing to use computers.

I just read a book last night that seemed oddly familar. Found out why. I had read it 8 years ago. This is not a good sign if I am buying the same books again.
I read The Da Vinci Code a few months ago but was unimpressed and bothered by some of the errors in it (didn't he have an editor?) I liked the book overall, but it wasn't a favorite and I didn't find it worth keeping. Am I missing something that everyone else seems to be getting from it?
ETA: is it just me or does the line breaks in the second paragraph cause mucho alliteration?

The Illumnati in the book were anti-religion and believers in science.

Aha! See that's what I get for trying to comment when I don't know what people are talking about.

Nah! No worries. It makes for good conversation. What are you reading, Jesse?
