Possible Spoiler about Jim Butcher's "Dead Beat."

[fenderlove]

I found something interesting on the cover of the seventh Dresden Files book, and I wanted to get an opinion from someone who is currently reading or has read the book.

I looked at the cover closely today and noticed that the "runes" on Harry's staff aren't runes at all! They are Japanese Katakana! In Japanese, it reads "matorikkusu" which translates to "matrix" in English. Is this an important plot element? If you are currently reading or have read the book, don't tell me what the plot element is, just tell me if it matters to the story or not. I'm just really curious.

Not so much

So this is not so much about the story as the song. I did enjoy the humor of the song. Well, good luck with the book and with the class stuff you're doing! By the way, sorry about leaving you the message even though it has nothing to do with the story and possibly getting your hopes up!

Bloody shame on you! You got my hopes up, Missy! Bad!

No, absolutely nothing to do with the book and all about a really ignorant illustrator.

Hehe! And here I thought I found this amazing clue! ^_^ Thanks for your help! I'm still majorly looking forward to reading "Dead Beat." I really loved "Blood Rites."
