Damn you J.K. Rowling!

For only having 4 of the Harry Potter books released...


I just finished the forth book, ended too quickly, could have easily gone on for another 100 pages to finish out the plot, but alas its done and now I have to wait until May for the next one...:(

I giggled at the line from Obi Wan in the last flick...

"Ani, you kill me sometimes........"

Or words to that effect;)

ROFL! My 10 year old daughter read the series last year and is freaking out waiting for the next. She originally said it would be out by Christmas, but now is saying probably not because of a lawsuit she was involved with that slowed things down.

Dave, whatever you do, do NOT start Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series. That will drive you ape shit! I don't think that will ever reach its conclusion, and its YEARS between installments. Plus, I don't think Stephen King has written much new material since his accident a few years back that almost killed him. I may never know if Roland and his new gang of gunslingers ever reach the dark tower!

Gawd, I'm such a geek!![:/]

I'm not surprised. I honestly don't think he's written anything new since his accident. Just like the character in one of his books, he's pulling out stuff he wrote years ago, dusting it off, touching it up and handing it to his publisher as new material. (Black House doesn't count since he "co-wrote" that with Peter Staub!)

Do we need to start giving out "SkyGeek" numbers?? Or has that been done already??

What about having pretty much his whole collection???

Just trying to see where I stack up on the geek scale!:$

Dave, like you, the last Harry Potter book just left me wanting more. I'm more into the books than my nieces and nephews, and I only started reading them to see what all the fuss was about! I'm not happy about waiting til next May for the next one. I might need to reread the whole series AGAIN between now and then!

Dave, I read in People magazine today (and you KNOW you have to believe everything People says!) that J.K. Rowling is still going to try to get the next book out by the end of the year. And, it's supposed to be another long one, like #4.

Stephen King is also going blind. Makes it a wee touch difficult to write as quickly as he used to.

All this talk about Harry, I think I need to reread the books again. For the third time. Soon as I finish LOTR. Again.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

Nothing against the man, he's had a amazing career and he's certainly entertained the masses. I'll be enjoying his novels for many years to come. Everyone has to slow down sometime, and he certainly has earned a rest and a retirement!

But he hooked me with The Gunslinger oh so many years ago. Each followup draws me even further in, and he is nowhere near a conclusion[:/]

Lord of the Rings is on my agenda as well.......

No shit! I started the DT series and now I'm stuck waiting for the new ones to be released. The next 3 books in the series have already been finished, but they haven't released 'em yet for some damn reason.He has recently published a few thing, but none concerning Roland and the gang. I've heard after he finishes the series and one or two other projects, that he's going to retire. Sheesh! I should get out more.:S
