my copy is in the mail. i'm prepared not to sleep a whole lot until i've finished all 700+ pages. i remember when i read the first book in the summer of 2000. i was still living in washington dc and bit detached from social circles where one would hear about harry potter. when i was helping coach a rowing camp that week, i noticed that one of the other coaches had his head buried in the book the whole afternoon. finally i borrowed the first book from my friend and read it all in one night. i read the following books in quick succession. i am happy to see that books are still capable of catching people's attention and capturing their imagination. in particular, i like seeing kids grow up with the books as they have been published. i am sorry to see the series come to an end. it's been a good run.

your copy looks different than mine. I got the Canadian...or rather, British, version. I am about 350 pages in. Too many distractions this weekend. DON'T SAY ANYTHING if you have read it.
