I must be the slowest adult reader in North America. I assume it will 
take me somewhere between one and two weeks, reading at lunch (at 
work) and a few hours every evening, to finish OotP the first time. 
Plus I will be reading for myself and also TO my not-yet-7-year-old 
daughter, which means I'll have 2 bookmarks, one for my read and one 
for hers. Even if I managed to read 50 pages to her every night, it 
would take me 18 days to finish reading it to her. I hope by then I 
will have read it at least twice to myself. By then there will be at 
least 17,375 new messages on HPfGU and I'll never catch up. Oh well.
