Great idea, foggi.

You are absolutely awesome foggi! Thanks for doing this.

The Lightning Thief Thread has begun!

#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).

The History of Now is now shipping from Amazon.

Of course it is now. ;) Thank you, bib! I wondered when it would be out. :)

Don't forget to grab a copy of Harry, A History for May's book discussion!

Here's The Last Olympian thread.

#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!)

Here is the thread for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

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?

Oh good, now I know what books to look for!

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?

This is a great idea for a thread!
