Horrible copyediting mistake, sumi. Pretty sure. Actually, likely a horrible Word autocorrection never caught contextually by the copyeditor.

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."

Yes, the horrible Word autocorrection seems very likely.

Question for the legendarily minded folk:
What is the name of the knight at the end of the Arthurian legend who flings Excalibur back into the Lake?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
What is the name of the night at the end of the Arthurian legend who flings Excalibur back into the Lake?
You mean the person? I think it was Lancelot, in most versions. In some versions, I think the sword sort of disappears without anybody keeping track of it.

I just finished reading book three of George R.R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice series.
Wow. Talk about your HSQ.

sumi, several of my friends are reading those. I intend to pick them up eventually, but maybe not until the fourth one has been released, since they all say the end of the third is a huge cliffhanger. Did you like them?

Oh yeah. I think Book iv is out this summer. I'm fifth on the list for it at the library.
There was HSQ at the end of the 1st book too.

At Arthur's urging, Sir Bedivere throws Excalibur back into the lake, and the hand of the Lady of the Lake rises to take it.

I'm in the same position with that series as I am with the Robin Hobb ship one - I read the first book right when it came out, and like them, but now it's been so long that I can't pick up the others without rereading the first, and for some reason I'm resistant to doing that.
I'm currently reading Perdido Street Station by China Mieville, and loving it. He does a wonderful job of building a different universe with its own rules and physics and expectations, and doing it solidly enough that it's very real and compelling.

I can't even.
Regarding A Feast for Crows, George's website says:
"I said that I hoped to have the book done by the end of the year. Famous last words. No, it's not done, though I am getting closer. I have more than thirteen hundred pages in final draft form and another hundred or so in roughs or fragments, but there are still some chapters yet to write. I'm telling myself that I'm on the home stretch. As soon as FEAST as done, I will announce it here." —George R.R. Martin, January 17, 2005
