Contents 1 Infobox 2 Calcutta vs. Kolkata 3 Summer reading 4 Vandalism in characters section 5 WikiProject class rating

[edit] Infobox

I added the infobox and am fairly sure all that info is correct. I'm not totally sure what genre, though. Any ideas on that?PhoenixJ 23:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Calcutta vs. Kolkata

Although "Kolkata" is the preferred spelling in many contexts, I believe that the book uses the old spelling "Calcutta". I think that the article should use the spelling used in the book, even though it is considered out-dated in other contexts. Does anyone agree or disagree? Is there any Wikipedia policy or guideline for these situations? --Icarus ^(Hi!) 01:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Summer reading

I really don't think it's notable that a handful of universities made it their required reading for one grade level one summer. Should every single book that's ever been assigned in such a way have that noted in its article? If there's no good reason to keep this trivia, it should be removed. --Icarus ^(Hi!) 22:45, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism in characters section

"His best friend is Ian Herner who is a sexy man" appears under one of the characters' bios. I haven't read the book, and I'm checking before deleting it just incase it's a some sort of humor relating to the book (probably not, but better safe than sorry).--Romulus 03:18, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
