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."

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.

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.

"My family, and other animals" is a great book. (Not sure if that's one of the Corfu books you meant, dcp, but that's what came to mind)
