New Harry Potter book/script just dropped in price at Amazon -- (link*) - ML Feb 23, 09:44 15
- It's going to be so much fun trying to explain to library patrons why this is shelved in nonfiction. -- nm - mara Feb 23, 09:47 14
  - I would stick that one with the Potter novels. -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 10:28 2
    - Some libraries probably will. I suppose we might ourselves -- if ever a play could go in fiction, it's this one. -- nm - mara Feb 23, 10:35 1
      - yeah I think it would save you guys a hassle. Or at least put a sign up saying where you can get it. -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 10:39

      - I look forward to the protests about libraries promoting magic and being unChristian as a result -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 09:58 6
        
        Well, we already have books on, say, casting spells in nonfiction. If anyone wanted to protest, they've had plenty of reasons well before now. -- nm - mara Feb 23, 10:05 5
        
        we renamed Occult as Arcana, so we could include all manner of nonsense. -- nm - mud Feb 23, 10:10
        
        true, but people hear Harry Potter and lose their shit (plus makes for easy news stories) -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 10:06 3
        
        odd, considering the explicit Christianity inspiration throughout -- nm - ML Feb 23, 10:12 2
        
        Very odd, but true. "Harry Potter tops list of most challenged books of 21st Century" -- (link) - mara Feb 23, 10:14 1

    - No he didn't. (see above) -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Feb 23, 09:34 1
      - right, that is what I meant (see follow-up right after :) ) -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 09:34
    - (and rightfully so based on his history leading up to it, the Jays took on alot of risk) -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 09:34 1
      - ;-) -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Feb 23, 09:34

- What's this now? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 10:02
- what? -- nm - mud Feb 23, 09:39

        The losing team. -- nm - David Feb 23, 09:39 12

        WTG, Kobe! -- nm - David Feb 23, 09:50 9
        
        nevermind the 2 shlubs at the bottom of our team who managed under a .50 K/D - groiny Feb 23, 09:51 8

        why? -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 10:04 4
        
        Think it over some, Grapefruit. -- nm - David Feb 23, 10:05 3
        
        I should have stayed at A when the other team had B and C capped - groiny Feb 23, 10:07 2
        
        It was certainly a bold strategy to leave your team to die, Grapefruit. -- nm - David Feb 23, 10:23 1
        
        some people just can't be saved. - groiny Feb 23, 10:24
