Are books with heroes who rape the heroines
Laura Kinsale's The Shadow and the Star. Twice. It's Micole's favorite Kinsale, and it seriously put me off her. Although I don't think it came out in the last 5 years, don't know how old it is.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The wide universe is the ocean I travel, and the earth is my blue boat home
Pretty sure that's older than 5 years. I've never read it, but I generally adore Kinsale. Interesting.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Is there a web site where you can search for a book by describing it? (Versus the way you search on Amazon, for instance.) I seem to remember someone mentioning something like that a while ago....

abebooks.co.uk? I've never used it, but I've heard good things about their BookSleuth forum.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow--JKR did say that it would less than the last two, but I didn't figure that much less. Maybe she let her editor do a bit more work than on OotP (which desperately needed some trimming, IMO).

A friend commented that the the Da Vinci Code whole plot turns on Sheilaism.
The subject changed before I could ask her what "Sheilaism" is. Maybe I should crosspost the question in unAmericans - since it has got to be an Australian term.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I confess I don't know what they mean by 'Sheilaism', and not having read the Da Vinci Code I couldn't hazard a guess, but 'Sheila' is simply slang for a woman, as in 'She's a beaut Sheila'. It'd be derived from that somehow.
