I'm not reading it extra fast. This is how I always read.

I already finished it... a very good book. I wasn't originally going to read the whole thing in one sitting, but I became addicted to it and could not set it down. I was also afraid that I would hear about all the information before I had a chance to read it. But don't worry, I won't post anything that would spoil the joy of finding out the details through the book.

Don't worry, Iggy. I know the butler did it.

holy crap--how did this phenom escape me? Anything this freakin' addictive is something I'd definitely be in for. Wonder if everybody is sold out yet? PS: Don't kick me out of your club just because I haven't read any HP yet. I can change.

From Fazed

***WARNING*** The following video contains spoilers for the new Harry Potter book. Don't watch this video or read the comments associated with this post if you don't want to know the ending.

People take this whole Harry Potter thing very seriously. If you're going to drive by the line of people waiting to buy the book (at 1:00 AM) and ruin the ending for them by yelling it out, you'd better have mommy's minivan to escape in!

The genius behind the camera was probably more retarded than the people buying the book.

1. You're retarded on principle.
2. You're retarded because you read the damned book in just over a day.
3. You're retarded b/c you use military time, civie.

Everything at work happens in military time. Before the nuthouse, when I worked with computers everything was set in military time, and I wrote everything up that way because it annoyed my former employer.

I COULD just put everything in stardate format, you know ...

If I were standing in line with Little Sidhe, and she was still of the mind that stuff like that was important, the monkey in the van would be getting a visit.

It's funny how easy it is to get someone's address from a license plate number.

Another board I'm on has a thread for folks who have finished reading and want to talk about the spoilers.
