prepheckt 0 #53 June 22, 2003 I read it straight through.....it only took 8 hours.. I really like how Rowling develops Harry's character throughout the book through a variety of situations that the reader can relate through their own personal experiences while growing up. Seriously, it's a really good book. I actually picked up a copy at the shop in the airport waiting for my flight to Colorado. I figured, "what the hell". Really good book, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a fun read."Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet." -9 toes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #54 June 23, 2003 There were a lot of copies today at the Costco by me- for $15.69 or something. I'd already picked mine up from Barnes and Noble yesterday. And I agree, its a great read. I keep forcing myself to put it down for a little while and do something else! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure about actually eating one of these thing since some of the flavors include grass,vomit,ear wax,sardine,black pepper,booger and dirt along with the "normal" flavors like tutti frutti,green apple,watermelon etc. Oh well time for me to journey back to Hogwarts.I've got a book to read.

AggieDave 6 #56 June 23, 2003 Yup, I just got back from Sam's with my copy...I can't wait to start reading it...but I don't want to start reading it, it'll be over way too soon, I know.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

KawiZX900 0 #57 June 24, 2003 Borders was a freaking Zoo on Saturday with the book at the front door and it's own little register.. The author has already cleared 22million in royalties on top of her salary in the first weekends sales..... anybody got a box of pens? i'm writting a fukin book.... Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.

moodyskydiver 0 #58 June 24, 2003 Well I'm only on chapter 5 but its goooood! Fair warning about the Every Flavor beans they are true to life. If anyone (me) is goofy enough to try the funky flavored ones (black pepper,vomit,ear wax,dirt,grass etc.) expect the real thing b/c they are nasty. The normal ones are good though (Jelly Bellies) once you weed out the nasty ones. hehe I cant wait til my bro in law comes over nosing through my candy stash. "...just an earthbound misfit, I."

Ok, Kris, that takes care of that little problem... Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

AggieDave 6 #61 June 24, 2003 Fuck'n A I'm starting Ch 9 right now...kick ass! But I had to stop for a bit to stretch my legs (and typing fingers) since I've been reading for 2 1/2 hours now.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
