Pretty sure that's older than 5 years. I've never read it, but I generally adore Kinsale. Interesting.
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."
Is there a web site where you can search for a book by describing it? (Versus the way you search on Amazon, for instance.) I seem to remember someone mentioning something like that a while ago....
abebooks.co.uk? I've never used it, but I've heard good things about their BookSleuth forum.
Just heard on Internet radio --
The new Harry Potter book has 607 pages.
Damn.
Wow--JKR did say that it would less than the last two, but I didn't figure that much less. Maybe she let her editor do a bit more work than on OotP (which desperately needed some trimming, IMO).
A friend commented that the the Da Vinci Code whole plot turns on Sheilaism.
The subject changed before I could ask her what "Sheilaism" is. Maybe I should crosspost the question in unAmericans - since it has got to be an Australian term.

I confess I don't know what they mean by 'Sheilaism', and not having read the Da Vinci Code I couldn't hazard a guess, but 'Sheila' is simply slang for a woman, as in 'She's a beaut Sheila'. It'd be derived from that somehow.
Ah, already crossposted to unamerican. According to google Sheila refers specifically to young women - though I always thought it referred only the women. Take your word over google on matters Australian in any case.
