That's what I do too, Wolfram. My library is also set up very bizarrely, so sometimes it's easier to get it at the hold desk, if I want something specific, rather than browsing for general reading.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

The Buffista Book Club: the Harry Potter iteration
This thread is a focused discussion group. Please see the first post below for the current topic and upcoming book discussions. While natter will inevitably happen, we encourage you to treat this like a virtual book club and try to keep your posts in that spirit.
By consensus, this thread is reopened specifically to discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It will be closed again once that discussion has run its course.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse

I can't even.
I read it in about a week's worth of giving it half an hour here and there, which is about how I manage to read for fun these days. It was a pretty quick read, I thought. I'm looking forward to the discussion.

I finished re-reading it last night, & I'm also looking forward to the discussion.

Thrive to spite them
I finished and I'm waiting to talk about it, but I also found a used copy of the book the first day I looked.
I need to reread the last part because I think I missed something.

Because books.
My copy didn't arrive till Tuesday, so I just started it. Looks good so far, though.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Just picked up my copy at the local library, going to start it soonish. In checking how many pages it was (255), I did happen to notice a name mentioned (Is it OK to mention it here, this early?) which makes me somewhat eager. Is it the character I know, or just a tribute to them from the author? Interesting . . . .

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Gandalfe, I was wondering the same thing.

Finally managed to go and pick up the book today. I'm really looking forward to jumping in. Also I made a convert - the clerk at the bookstore wanted to know if there were more copies so he could go grab one. "That sounds great! When the description starts out 'Two warring factions in the Department of Elevator Instructors,' how can you go wrong?"
