Man, SeanMartin is one of the most unpleasant people to ever grace these boards.

SeanMartin, is it that hard to read 100 pages in an hour? For those of us who have the patience to sit for eight hour intervals, there you are, a book easily finished in eight hours.

Oh my God. My wife read book 5 in about 4 hours. But that is non-stop reading. And she remembers every detail of every book. She is just a SUPER fast reader. I remember in college, where we would go to the library and I would check out one book and she would check out 3 and be done with all of them before I was done with that one book. Makes me so mad. haha

I don't know what's more disturbing: That so many of us will sit for 8 hours a stretch to read a good book, or that SeanMartin knows no one capable of doing so.

I'm going to have to do some major avoiding for a while - I just don't have the patience to sit and read for 10 hours at a stretch, though that is about the total time it should take me to read it - I'll need a few days. This is going to be an interesting couple of days. (At least I'm getting a head start on Caitie who reads WAY faster than me since I'll have my book tomorrow at midnight and she won't have hers until Saturday evening!)

SeanMartin would be absolutely appalled at my reading habits. Back before I started doing SuDoku, I'd spend my lunch hours reading kids books, and I could get through a suitably fast-paced one in just one day's worth of breaks easily. In fact, it's almost a shame I only work five days a week, else I could've got through the entire Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz in one week. As it was, it only took me a little over two for the entire twelve-volume Saga of Darren Shan. Some books you need to concentrate on. Some books you need to savour slowly. But other books can be whizzed through at top speed without losing out.
Obviously SeanMartin will never agree with us though, because that would be admitting he is wrong and he doesn't really strike me as the sort of gentleman to whom such an admission would come easily, but eh. I know my own reading better than anyone else does. ^_^

I believe there was an ARC of the first book. My English teacher worked for Scholastic and had to write the little blurbs about each book in the elementary school book orders. Unless what she showed us was a fake ARC.

Did you read the article? As long as I take it in the context of the article, I can live in my blissful ignorance until tonight.

Hey guys:
How about deleting all named references to whom may or may not get killed? Come on, it's only another 15 hours til we know for sure. Post your spoilers tomorrow, and don't spoil it for the rest of us.

Woo boy.
"I Can't Believe They Killed Hermione" is blogger Joe My God's long-running joke about the films. Each time he reviews one, that's how he ends his posts. My link just points to his Potter posts.
