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."

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I heard Kelly Link read from her new story collection last night. She read part of a story about a group of teenagers who are really big fans of a TV show called "The Library" which comes on at odd times and features characters who are always played by different actors from episode to episode. It was funny and surreal and wonderful. I picked up the new book, Magic for Beginners, and am really looking forward to reading it, maybe this weekend.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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

If what happens in this book as I've read what happens in this book, Book 7 or no, I ain't gonna read it.

I'll probably buy it, cause I'm too anal retentive about series books. But I won't like it!

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm not sure I care...I just got the range of motion back in my shoulder from hefting around the last one in hb.

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

Kathy, that sounds like fun!

If hordes of actual children weren't involved, I'd so go! (You know, if I lived in Chi.)
