I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

We've ordered the British edition, as DH insists so it'll match all our previous HP books. And with family finances as they currently are, I can't justify buying an American copy just to read it when everyone else does. So I'll be a little behind.

We'll be waiting until it's out in paperback in Canada, just like last time, and picking it up at Chapters.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Susan, we should orchestrate a trade. I buy the UK version when I'm there, read it right away, you get your American first day, then we swap so our respective collections match.

OTOH, my copy would likely be well-worn by the time I got home, thus un-collection worthy.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm having my pre-ordered copy sent to Michigan since that's where I'll be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Environmentalists urged to buy recycled Harry Potter from Canada:

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is published worldwide on 16 July, with a recycled version issued by Canadian publisher Raincoast Books.

Vancouver conservation group Markets Initiative said US publisher Scholastic rejected a plea to use recycled paper.

My friend Tami has threatened to beat me upside the head if I do what I did with OotP and read it in one sitting

Y'know, I may just have to do that...cause I realized that on that Sunday? I'll be on a plane to California. Between 5 hours on the plane, and time waiting in the airport? I ought to be able to kick that puppy...

They've updated the info on the local bookstore's Harry Potter celebration next Friday. I think I might actually drop by for the fun! Now, they also have Arthur Weasley ("esteemed Muggle expert") and Minerva McGonagall stopping by the bookstore (there's a big enough local acting pool to cast these characters really well, and I'm interested to see how they have them portrayed), as well as "Gringott's Bank Vault tours" and "Madame Pomfrey's Infirmary" (the local chiropractor).

move out and draw fire

Thanks for the link about the recycled Harry Potter...I may cancel my Amazon pre-order and get one of these. I'm also debating a crack about how the recycled plotlines and OMG!SomeoneDIES! should be printed on recycled paper to match, because I'm actually kind of excited to read the new book.

A shocker, since after finishing OotP by holding my hand to the back of my head, I swore I was done with Potter.

ETA: It's $2.00 more to buy the recycled version from Canada (via Amazon.ca). Also, I want this [link] cover.
