Since Steve asked... [HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Book list

Agreed Kemper.. A friend of mine gave me the first saga, of "inheratance"
just one weekend before HBP, and I read the entire book in just under 5
hours. Glad the next one is comming out next month, as I intend to get it
too.
2 years for HP:7.. I might be retired by then!

to Sci-Fi.  Sci/Fi channel should buy the rights and let loose.

series of boring ennui.  One might wonder if it is exceeding what is
necessary or natural even superfluous to use 'boring' and 'ennui' in the
same sentence.  Hmm... not how it was used here.
