Buffy ,'Dirty Girls'
We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Isn't the DaVinci Code the one Simon Le Bon ripped into on Simon's Book Club? His complaints were like reading someone complaining about Mary Sues when they first hit them.
My exBiL is engrossed in the thing, which is sad, and lowers my opinion of him by a bit.

move out and draw fire
Many hours of my life spent between that and Car Wars, you see.
Plei is me. Although I mixed some Nuclear War in there also.
I just went and checked, and there's a French-language version of the Illuminati game. Heh.

Plei, sounds good. And get some DINNER, ma'am!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I got the Boondocks book too, Vortex.
Also, an autographed Book Lust by Nancy Pearl.
Then I got two childen's books. Allison by Allen Say and The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Grey Bridge.
Then I bought for myself: James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator(HB), Iggie's House by Judy Blume (HB), Little House in the Big Woods, and Runaway Ralph - all kid's books.
and Tell Me Lies by Jennifer Crusie.
I also borrowed my parent's Satanic Verses.

Yep. That's it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Everyone is a bit marvellous, yes.
And I agree with you, Hil. You wouldn't need to be half as marvellous as them to work out the clues. Some were glaringly obvious enough that I got impatient waiting for the plot to hand the clue to the character who was a specialist, so he could work out what my non-specialist self had.
Plus, I got the impression he was just plain lying about stuff.

I also borrowed my parent's Satanic Verses
I tried to read it. I figured any book that would piss off an entire religion to want to kill someone would be pretty juicy. I couldn't get past the first chapter. Then I thought how sad it was that the man would be in hiding for the rest of his life for a piece of crap. YSVMV

I love Salman Rushdie.
Somehow I forgot to finish The Satanic Verses. Got distracted.
