On "White Night" P. 11 second paragraph : Needs to be SATURDAY (Shabbat is the seventh day) instead of SUNDAY.

What is this, Pick on Jim Day?  Two threads, written within hours, pointing out tiny nitpicky details?  Do you guys read these books with a red pen in hand?

Besides, I doubt that this is a mistake of Jim’s.  Harry is no theologian.  I doubt that he recognizes that the current Christian Sabbath is not on the same day as the historical Jewish Sabbath.

Nice catch.  I think there's a list of mistakes somewhere.  We can try to find it and see if that's already been spotted, and if not, add it.

Wait, you're saying we actually keep a list cataloging all of the mistakes and continuity errors we've noticed in Jim's works?

We are the kinda of people that reread a series several times, spend hours debating the meaning behind one obscure sentence, and concoct elaborate theories for books that have yet to be written; of course we are going to have lists for typos and textual errors.

Ah! So what you're saying is, this site is essentially a convent of monks (and some nuns) all studying the Word and applying our various interpretations to it. The only difference being that in this case, our deity is falliable.

I am sure other deities make mistakes, look at the dodo bird.

I don't know how often I hear Sunday referred to as the Sabbath by many Christians anyway, who don't realize the difference between the seventh day of the week, Saturday, the Jewish day of rest and the Lord's Day, which is on Sunday, the first day of the week. This mistake, if it is one was so minor as to not need consideration.

The DoDo bird is perfect if you only knew its true purpose the world would not be as crazy as it is today.
