Has anyone read this book? I am a quarter of the way through and I can not reconcile what is written other then the fact that his stories must be complete bullshit

Yes. It was a mediocre piece of fiction/pseudo self-help (I think).

Passable portrait of a profoundly damaged narcissist and a painfully gauche young man.

Hilariously misconstrued as a guide.

Remind yourself that they were slavers, murderers and pedo's, hypocritical in everything they wrote, and the mass corruption we see in our world today is mostly because of their model of democracy, which encourages hollow power hungry people to do anything to rule the world.

Read what you want, it's easier. When you genuinely want to read the greeks, go back to them.

"Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Old English Heroes" - a combination of "Beowulf" and "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children."

Beowulf travels through time to the 1940's and kills Nazis with his sword. The British government sanctions him as a hero, and he goes around slaying the most evil monster of the 40's - Hitler and his minions.

Directed by Joss Whedon.

I call bullshit on that JKR comment.
Sur this is what look like the first comment on the appearence of Hermione.

But I am pretty sure in all the seven book, there must be one moment where a comment on her skin color from the narraor or another student.

I found it a bit simple and bullshitting to just say "no no, hermione were never litterary white colored, where did you get that silly idea? I never did :)"

Doesn't anyone know a passage like that?
How can we organize a crowd search to seek it in the books?

Honestly looks cute as hell. I don't know about you guys, but I prefer black women. This definitely explains why she's such a strong and independent young woman, she was fighting against racism before she ever fought against magical racism.
