Buffistas

Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good

Closed Threads

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."

The staged reading at 7:30 could be fun.

That's exactly what I thought! I'll give you a call tonight (I've got your tape of Who Am I This Time to give you, as well), if you'll be around.

Did y'all see the pics from the OotP shindig? I loved the pic of Snape. Also, I had forgotten that they had some national news people covering that event (I think some footage ended up on NBC news the next day).

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?

Cool! I'll be home around 7-ish.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

So, for how long after Harry Potter is out should we whitefont? Like, a day or 2?

Kidding!!!

It's a big-ass book -- a month, maybe?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Let us never speak of it again.

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

Crappity!

By the time I get back for Harry Potter discussion. You folks will be so over it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I found out today why I haven't been able to buy a copy of Howl's Moving Castle since we saw the movie. It's been sold out for the last month. The publisher cancelled a special movie tie-in cover because they didn't think the movie would generate much interest. So...while the movie is in the theaters, you can't buy a copy of the book.

So. Fucking. Stupid.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Hec,

Huh. well, now I'm glad I got the SF Book Club 2-in-1 edition with that and "Castle in the Air"

And in Harry Potter news, apparently the con I'm going to has "HP&THBP goes on sale" as a scheduled item.(Midnight Friday. Why then? I dunno)

move out and draw fire

I dreamt last night that they made Harry Potter into a stage musical, and it actually was pretty good.

This book [link] is going to be my next purchase, although the comparisons to "Da Vinci Code" turn me off. But it looks like that's just publisher-hype.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Raquel, have you read any of Gerald Durrell's books? He lived in Corfu for about five years in the 1930s and has some great tales about growing up as an ex-pat among the Greeks. I recently finished the Durrell biography by Douglas Botting, and the differences between Durrell's account of events and Botting's are fascinating.
