Well, I'm glad there are others like me! Shy (aka anti-social) that 
is. The book may arrive on Saturday morning from Amazon, but then 
again, as the post is a little erratic where I live, it may not 
arrive until Monday. Do I care? No. I've waited two or three years 
for it, so a couple of days more isn't going to bother me. The idea 
of going to a bookshop at midnight and standing in a queue with a 
crowd of hyperactive kids fills me with horror. And as for the 
thought of dressing-up, I'd no more do that than I would shout 
Whoopee! if I won the lottery (unlikely since I have never bought a 
ticket). But then I am a curmudgeonly old so-and-so ;)

And, when I do finally have the book, I shall read it slowly. One 
might glug a beer, but with a fine wine or a decent bottle of 
champers, one should take it slowly and enjoy each mouthful. A 
chapter or two at a time I think, so I can mull it over and try to 
spot where JK is leading us, not that I've ever managed to out-guess 
her of course! Prolongs the pleasure too. Or are the majority 
planning on glugging?
