This is why I think this Feedback discussion will prove fascinating --
 we'll hear so many views.  Already one can compare the two sides of 
the same coin:

Side A:  It's the last book -- I want to REALLY savor it and take my 
time with it!
Side B:  It's the last book -- this is my LAST TIME EVER to get to 
discuss the HPs, so I want to post as SOON as I'm done reading!

:)

I'm in U.S. EST zone and will get my hands on a copy shortly after 
its midnight release on 21 July.  I'll probably be done reading late 
Sunday or early Monday, so I'd be ready to go again by Monday... or 
Tuesday for sure.  

I really do appreciate the A Side of the coin, though I personally 
fall a little closer to the flipside myself, or at least to wanting 
to have the forum available for those who're B-Siders.  It's hard to 
know who'd be most frustrated by a decision that doesn't fit their 
preference:  those who're bursting at the seams & chomping at the bit 
or those who don't want to be left in the dust by quick readers?
