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."

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).

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Kathy, wanna meet up and go to some of the events? The staged reading at 7:30 could be fun. I have to work that day, but I should be able to be back in Oak Park by 6 or 6:30.
