Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

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."

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

I'm with Mr. Baum.

Sorry, my mislead. That's not Baum, but Trollope.

Blissfully misled.

The memories are still just as lovely.

It sounds lovely, but when I hear "Torquay" my brain immediately leaps to Basil Fawlty.

Never saw anything remotely Fawlty during my stay there. Not even the old folks home where I volunteered.

Those places that didn't knock me over with grandeur, screamed quaint. And always the good kind. Never kwaint.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I really thought Harry was going to be the death in this book.

Which would make the next book, what, Harry Potter and the Long Dirt Nap?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gandalfe, if you use the s spoiler shortcut, you don't have to worry about typing the right colour in.

Ita: I caught that - almost immediately. But not quite.

That was EXACTLY what crossed my mind.

Harry Potter sleeps with the merpeople.

There's a great website called The Invisible Library, which is:

a collection of books that only appear in other books. Within the library's catalog you will find imaginary books, pseudobiblia, artifictions, fabled tomes, libris phantastica, and all manner of books unwritten, unread, unpublished, and unfound.

Lots of fun poking through and seeing titles such as "Who Is This God Person, Anyway?" listed!
