I also pre-ordered so I won't be waiting in line at midnight. I'd like to head out and see the excitement but I haven't been sleeping well lately. I'll probably take a few sleeping pills and catch some Z's.

She claims she couldn't put the book down. Shit, for $5,000, I'd photocopy it and bring it back! No, scratch that, I'd just bring it back for the moolah. Hello, it's being released in a few days!!!

It kinda screams 'marketing hoopla' to me.

Kind of begs the next question I guess. What would or wouldn't ya do for $5000 bucks? LOL

Never read it either, nor seen any of the films.

To be quite honest it doesn't appeal to me at all. I'm not into fantasy (other than sexual) in the slightest and I actually find it kind of annoying. I have this big thing about going against the tide....if everyone else is going to be doing x, I like to make damn sure I'm doing y! LOL

I would rather read something a little more 'real' and a little more contraversial.

Lolita is my favourite book in the world and I just don't see how Rowling is going to match up to Nabokov......just my opinion, you're all welcome to tell me I'm a snob and that I'm missing out.

Hehehe....you can tell me off all you want, but it won't make a blind bit of difference to me! LOL

My people went.. and just about the time I got naked to get in the tub they were back already. They said nothing exciting was going on. Had their pics made in glasses and Mr. Lil picked up a copy at Target today.

Apparently she is now the richest woman in England beside the Queen.

I have not read any of then - yet. Nor have I seen the movie. But from everything that I have read about the books, is it not a modern C.S.Lewis 'The Lion, The witch, and the Wardrobe'? CS was a fabulous writer. Is Rowling now at that level?

It has been speculated that she had some ghost writers to help her on this last book.

I haven't read the books but did enjoy the movies. Looking forward to the next one. My wife, on the other hand, pre-ordered the book and went to get it the day it came out. She and the kids all swear by the books.

Just heard on the radio that there's been a mix-up in the order of the pages in some copies. Booksellers here, when trading books, then have to make sure the new copy they're giving the customer is in the right order. Fun!
