Fair play to Rowling. She struck it lucky, but they also happen to be very good books, and you have to admire her. Out of the 5 Potter books I have read so far there hasn't been one dull page.

Good on her.

I think anybody browsing the internet will likely see it mentioned some where or another. It's best to stay off the internet until you find out yourself.

But think of the poor soul who hovers their mouse over the link unexpectedly, and out of the corner of their eye sees mysterypersondies.ytmnd.com :(

oh... it's allready there.

btw: i think it's quite legitimate to warez this book since the artist is allready pretty rich and there's no reason to further support her.
That's a really retarded reason to cheat the <i>author</i>.

People had queued up for hours in advance of the book shop opening in london to make sure they get their hands on the new book. As the doors opened, there was deafening cheers and mass hysteria. One man who was interviewed could hardly contain his excitement and said " Oh, I'm so excited, I have to read it right now! " I mean, wtf? It's just a fucking book. I dunno, do kids queue up for hours and cause mass hysteria when a new game comes out like doom3?
it's sad. there are three giant bookstores in oxford (borders, waterstones & blackwells) and this avo they still had stacks of the half-blood prince. i think it's a cache thing, like having a pirate dvd of a movie before it's even hit the theatre, usually with the silhouette of some pakistani guy getting up to leave at the end

That's quite not legitimate. It's not like she is the only person who profits from the book. And even if she was, its still a bad reason.

the book's currently lying on my bed. Too bad I have two midterms next week to deal with and then got only a week to read it until I have to give it to my mum as she's returning to the mid east then.

Didn't know you were studying geology.

What are you majoring in anyhow?

ahhh... geology. I've taken it twice. Got a D the first time because I didn't give a fuck and failed it the 2nd time because I just stopped going about 6 years ago. Third time's a charm in the spring >:D
