Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I'm getting started reading GoF as well (just finished 1-3). I found out over the weekend that my book-loving 14-y.o. niece is also re-reading the books in preparation for 7/21. My brother was rolling his eyes when he told me this, and rolled them even more when I told him I was doing the very same thing.
My sister's future stepkids are in town visiting their dad and her for the next week or so, and when I told her that OotP was coming out in the theaters two days early, she was pretty excited because that meant she could take the daughter to see it (they're heading back to their mom's on the 13th, the original release date of the film). The daughter was excited, too--Kris told her while I was on the phone, and she started burbling about getting the tickets right away through Fandango.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh thank goodness. A couple friends of mine are letting me borrow their Book 7 to read as soon as they get it because they "can avoid the Internet better than [I] can."

I just got a notice from Amazon asking me to check that my order of HP7 has the correct shipping address. I don't recall them doing that before, do you?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Sumi, they sent me the same email. There must have been a lot of irate customers last time, who didn't get the book in time. They're promising guaranteed release date delivery, so there's more at stake, I suppose. With the free shipping and Amazon discount, that's an awesome deal if all goes according to the plan.

I got my copy of HBP from Amazon at 9:00 a.m. on the delivery date, but my friend who lived in the city (Chicago) didn't get hers until around 2:00 in the afternoon.

Hey. New board.
I still have issues processing that I'll be buying HP7 5 hours before anybody in the US. In Edinburgh.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Gris, if you read real fast, you might be able to finish before we even get ours (well, not me, because I have this damn original text fetish)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

And I lived (at the time) a mile or less from you and got mine around 1pm that day.

That's right!
I'll have to put my name down to reserve #7 tonight, so I can pick it up while at work. I asked on Tuesday, and (so far) they have over 1200 reservations for the book just at my store alone. There's a fun promo banner there saying, "You've read 3,440 pages already. Only 784 to go."
