Spoils Reads Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones

LET'S DO THIS. :D This thread will cover chapters 1-7, and is open to all who want to read along or reread, but if you've read the book before, please remember to mark your spoilers and cipher them. Additionally, please mark any speculation/guessing with "Theories Abound", so that other newbies can avoid reading it if they so choose. We'll be doing a chapter a day, which means this ends on Halloween! Also, if you're reading the new edition that came out last year, I recommend not reading Garth Nix's introduction till you've finished the book.

I'll post my own thoughts on the first chapter in reply to this.

Alan went to see Gravity.

And needs people to talk to about it.

And if you are thinking about going seeing it, I would say GO AND FIND THE BIGGEST SCREEN WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT unless you get motion sickness.

Lightning Reads A Dance With Dragons
And maybe a side story about a knight whose name I can't remember!

So yeah. If I do post about said side story I'll rot13 the whole thing so, you know, people don't get spoiled. But other than that... all the spoilers about the series. All of them.

Fair warning: because I'm in school, there's probably going to be mass posts on the weekend rather than the weekday, though that might change!

Preemptive video links for Mark Watches

As always, these are dead links until Mark actually uploads the videos. With Mark at FenCon through Monday (according to the calendar), I wouldn't count on any of these being live until Tuesday.

The Mind Tool Watches Monster
I went into this knowing two things: 1) This is an anime that MemoBookworm wanted me to watch. 2) It's called Monster.
Yep, that's right, I AM WATCHING THIS SHOW AS UNSPOILED AS POSSIBLE

I'm going to be rather busy for a while, but I may as well post the reactions I already have typed up. (Memo already had me writing my reactions to some of the things she's gotten me to watch/read)

Note: This show is impossible to discuss without major spoilers. If you haven't watched it, watch the first four episodes or so before reading this.

Current Progress: finished Episode 4

TDM has finished watching Steins;Gate

...and is just managing to get to the point where her fingers don't want to type "Stein's Gate" instead.

Anyway I'm gonna chat with a lot of spoilers in the reply, so yeah, don't read it if you've not finished the show.

I'll end this first post with a warning: if you ever decide to watch Steins;Gate for the first time by watching the DVDs, don't read the blurb of the second DVD set unless you know what's going to happen. I have never seen such a spoilery blurb of anything in my life (fortunately I realised this after a sentence and stopped reading... I then read the blurb after finishing the series). It sounds good, but not great if I want a surprise, DVD box writers!

(I'll also put the blurbs of both DVD sets in the reply for anyone interested who doesn't have the DVDs to see what I mean).

Has anyone else read The Disaster Artist yet? I know there are some fellow fans of "The Room" here and seriously, it's amazing. Even if you're not a fan of the movie, it's a fascinating look at who Tommy Wiseau is and how improbable it is that the movie even exists in the first place. SUCH A GOOD BOOK.

Gail's College Application Adventure!

Ugh, I would like to strangle whoever thought that people needed to write essays to get into college... Currently on the umpteenth draft and I still am having problems putting the crap I want to say properly.

Good news though: I should be receiving my unofficial transcript so I can fill out a self-reported academic record.
