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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice...
Maybe we'll find out Voldemort has a brother. The title is a little goofy (Phantom Menace, anyone??).
Edit: Just thought of Dumbledore- maybe it's him.

I'm pretty sure it's Hagrid, as he's the known half-blood, but yawn. Not what I want a whole book 6 about. I'd prefer it to be Remus.
Of course, it was immediately mutated into "Harry Potter Gets a Half-and-Half."

I look more rad than Lutheranism
"Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince."
Harry Potter and the Really Lame Title. Meh.
I just hope the prince referred to in the title isn't a heretofore never-mentioned character.

Heh. I prefer that to the heretofore never-mentioned characteristic of an existing character.
I realise, in retrospect, that I don't really care for any of her titles. They're just ... there.

OK, wow. I just read that, ita and...it's both convincing, and truly makes me believe that some people have wayyyyyy too much time on their hands.

Her next book, though, is one I'm looking forward to, because she has a personal stake in it. Her grandmother was a worker at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in NY, and left a week before the fire that killed 150-plus women workers (and changed the face of American unions).
This sounds fascinating. I wonder if she was afflicted with survivor guilt.
I finished Jennifer Government on books on tape. It was okay. The characters were charicatures, one was annoyingly stupid (Hack Nike), the plot either needed to be tighter or more over the top a la Christopher Moore, the pieces come together at the end just the way you can see they were going, but I was entertained. I like the bar code tatoo.
Soderberg/Clooney's Section 8 has optioned it? Huh.

I agree on both counts... but verrrry interesting.
