#4 -- I created a link for it in the first post, as well. I also decided to arrange the single-thread discussions alphabetically (originally I just threw them in as I found them).

#9 -- Good catch, Lefty! It's linked now. I need to add links for the Magic Kingdom of Landover discussion threads . . . maybe tomorrow. (I'm up past my bedtime!)

I have linked the Landover threads, P&P&Z, and the Harry Potter and Philosophy essays. (I really am going to get around to reading those essays and commenting on those threads. Maybe I'll make it a New Year's resolution.) Are there any other book discussion threads out there that need linking here?

I've gone through each of these threads and marked what they are "about" in the little box to the left. Are there more recent book discussions that need to be linked? It's been a while since we did one, hasn't it?

ETA: Just remembered that a House of Night thread was started recently, so I added that one. Any others?
