I would've been bitter as a camper too, going "You're going to get through a CHAPTER, reading it outloud...in that amount of time I could get through like, FOUR reading it to myself! Damn you!"
Probably most of the campers will like it though.
(Me, i'm waiting until tomorrow to go get it)
Getting woken up for a special thing would not bother me--I remember being woken up at camp to see the sun rise, which was very cool. Being woken up early more than ONCE would have annoyed me, even as a tyke, though.
I shouldn't have pre-ordered it -- I could have walked up to B&N and bought one when I woke up, but here I am stuck waiting for the mail to arrive.

I was going to say, I just walked by an enormous stack of them when I was at Wal-Mart.
Well, I've gone and spoiled myself for
the identity of the HBP.
What I'm waiting for is
the significance of the whole HBP thing and what being the HBP means relative to the wizarding world.
My book is in DeKalb. It arrived at 5:18 this morning.
Why isn't it HERE!?!!??!!
This time - it was shipped UPS. (Last book came FedEx.)
I'm trying to decide if I want to drive up to my office today in the hopes that it was delivered there (as opposed to taken back to the post office since there was no one there to claim it -- but there's a security desk open 24/7, so I *think* they accept packages). Hmmm.
I spoiled myself, too. I really need to stop reading the ends of books first.
I'm on page 194. I'm really enjoying it so far.
I finished it (in one sitting and my eyes are VERY TIRED). I am weak when it comes to spoilers so I thought I better read it right away, as I would not be able to avoid this thread. I am glad I did not spoil myself, altbhough I had my suspicions. I found it
incredibly moving.
More when more folks have read it.
