"Hang on baby and let me reach for the HP"

[salisbury]

In preparation for the release of the seventh and final Harry Potter book, I decided to reread the entire series from the very beginning. After my first reading session I scoured my bedside stand, trying to find something to use as a bookmark. No slips of paper were present, however, nor any cards or receipts. Nothing appropriate

Hope it doesn't get leaky and glue the pages together with k-y :)

Remember that time you guys helped Chuck move and there was a box of Kleenex under the bed???

(I don’t ’cuz I wasn’t there but ha ha!)

More details please!

(used) band-aids, (used) q-tips, (used) tissues...thankfully no condoms so far, used or otherwise...

You’re gonna have to start wearing a HAZMAT suit! Kinda ruins the hot librarian look though… Maybe they make tailored versions. I go with whatever’s handy for bookmarks but I don’t think I’ve ever used anything with any sort of secretions on / in it.

also, just fyi, you can check out back issues of playboy magazine at the madison public library

I did not know that. I may have to check out the library more often! For… research. I don’t remember the last time I went to a library - used book stores usually do the trick for me. For books, that is.

Oh good, it's not just me.

Let me know what you think of those books puhlease. Everyone keeps telling me I should read ’em because they aren’t nearly as lame as one might imagine but then I hear that a lot about Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy too.

The books are like a waterpark: not too much depth but a ton of fun. The first few books have that "kid's book" feel, but not any more so than, say, The Hobbit.

You're not necessarily missing out on masterpieces of modern literature but they are quick, engaging reads.

Also: beware the first two movies for they are horrendous.

Hmmmm I guess I’ll see if I can find a used copy somewheres. (I can’t imagine that'll be a problem.) I don’t want anyone to see me reading it though. I’ll just say it’s a condom holder.

Also: beware the first two movies for they are horrendous.

Yah that’s why I’m a bit leery about the books. I watched part of the first movie - I turned it off when they started chasing that ball around. Kinda gave me the same feeling as watching Darth Vader giggleroll down the sand dunes in Star Wars II / V / you know what I mean.
