You don't want to hover over it and look at the url either. Rofl. Hidden treat. It's only page 606 though, like I said. It's obviously not the big payoff. Which I will find out and post at 11:59. |

So there I was working late and my wife called. instead of asking "when are you coming home", she said "since you're late anyway, can't you stay till 1 am and pick up the new Harry Potter". What the hell, I thought, might as well make her happy. If they open the doors at 12, I can just waltz in at1 one, pick up a book and grap a cab home. D'oh! Doors open at 1. 300 geeks in front of me... some of them dressed like "wizards" (That is, really ugly goths in pointy hats). I've never stood in a line for a cultural event before.... well, apart from U2 tickets, but they were for my wife too and nobody dressed like Bono. Luckily there's a Scottish pub nearby, I can grab a Guiness and a malt whisky while pretending not to be part of the line. Finally the doors open. There's a tv-crew.... shit, there's a former colleague from the tabloid where I used to work. I decide, that if the camera is on me, when I reach the till, I'm going to ask for a book on gardening and leave... screw the wife, that would look so good on telly. "Harry, who?!" Anyways, now I have the book. The wife is asleep and it's not like I don't like the books. Should I skip bed and read it before her? She'd really hate me for it  |

Oh yes... I'll give details for a custom title/name. I wanna be in Potter tooooo... Now I work for an international publisher, which amongst other things own the german rights for Harry Potter and the Scandinavian rights to the LoTR movies - it's fascinating to see how even such a huge companys bottom line still fluctates certain years, just because of a single book or movie. |

Give him the last name Potter and maybe he'll publish your memoirs. Well, when you are old enough to have some.
Oh, wait... You're as old as that Nicole Ritchie! Better hurry... you're not getting any younger!

I go out of town for one day for a job interview and the whole fucking site goes spastic.

I'd just like to add: NOT SAFE FOR BRAIN.This is the first image that comes up when you look up "Malfoy" on google image search, in a completely innocent attempt to try to figure out to whom the name belongs. Edit: Don't. |

How could I have possibly ruined LotR for anyone by showing pictures of LOVE? What ever happened to romance?

My god, I can't scrub my brain fast enough..
Anywho, just finished the book. Was a good read and the next book should be fun and wrap things up, unlike every other fantasy series in the world.

Oops, posted this in the damn TV thread first.
I liked this book a lot. It was probably the best edited, best paced, and most engaging cover-to-cover of the series. Some people in the land of the eternally cranky seemed to hate some of the supposed political commentary and the twist, but it didn't bother me. I liked the end relevation and how it was handled, and I really didn't see the political commentary as anything specific (a generic enough situation to not really warrant further analysis). I have some MINOR issues with the book, but nothing that prevented me from enjoying it.
Anyhow, not much else to discuss without going all spoilerific.
Edit: That fanfic picture is really repulsive. Quit ruining things for me. I think I'll use my dark powers and get it the fuck off my screen.
