yeah... I said it... Harry Potter ...
got home from work todayand it was sitting upon my doorstep (along with some other things)... I brought everything inside, and promptly ignored everything else and opened the box with the book...
I must say, I felt like it was christmas, I've been waiitng for the book for a good length of time now, and am currently 200 pages in...
so far its got more twists thrown at you than a noose, but its a damn good book and was well worth the wait. 3 am and I don't want to go to bed, but i figured i'd take a break, get some water, and see what time it was...
I don't think I'll make it till November for the 4th movie
I'll open everything else later, once I'm finished with the book (I'll probably finish it tomorrow ) ... hoooray for lenses, memory cards and other camera stuffs!! _________________

Neeeeeerd!
Honestly, I haven't even seen any of those movies. I'm guessing it's pretty addicting? _________________

| Few friends of mine are halfway into the book and have mostly lost interest. |

Just finished the book... I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it yet... some of the magic that was in the other books is missing, yet its still a good read and fairly surprising.
granted, people shouting too and fro the spoilers of the book didn't help any, so I think that sort of took away from it as well  _________________

I saw one of the movies with an ex-girlfriend once. I thought it was one of the most ridiculous movies ever.

I really like some of Crichton stuff. Grishem is good too. |

personally i'm not a fan of too many chricton books lately, the last good one I read was Airframe, he's had a few more since then, and never really got into Grisham much...
I'm usually into horror or sci-fi/fantasy stuff though so this is right up my alley... in the last two months I've read potter books 1-6, and all 7 Timothy Zahn star wars novels ... yeah I'm el nerdo maximus
it was hard for me to put the book down, I got it about 4pm monday afternoon, read about 60 pages and went back to work, then got home around midnight, and read till I posted this thread... woke up at noon tuesday (today I guess, for you guys), and finished the book with an hour and a half to spare before I had to go to work.
I'll re-read it again in a week though I'm sure, make sure I didn't miss anything, and I'm sure I'll re-read the entire series for the hell of it again afterwards. _________________
