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books, pseudobiblia, artifictions, fabled tomes, libris phantastica, and all manner of books unwritten, unread, unpublished, and unfound.

My favorite part of Samuel Delaney's Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand is the long section detailing the masterpieces of future fiction and poetry. He made me long for books that never existed.

Has anyone ever read Sorcery and Cecilia? I saw it referred to as "a delightful little trifle that’s what might have resulted if Jane Austen had learned to write at Hogwart’s School for Witchcraft and Wizardry." I'm thinking about stopping by the local Borders on the way home to see if they have it in stock.

I've read it. I'd call it "if Jane Austen had learned to write Young Adult fiction at Hogwart's".

That's what I get for not keeping caught up here. Damn, I could have been reading it months ago!

I have a HBP question: Who thinks that Snape didn't previously know what Narcissa and Bellatrix eventually revealed to him when they showed up?
