Looking at the last page.

Always before I was waiting in line, in a hurry to get at the book to
quickly skim through it on a first read and grab the main details before
going back for a slow, detailed read to try to glean clues.

 

But this time will be different.  I mean, this is it.  No more clues to
guess.  No more postings of theories and predictions.  Finite. Finality.
The end.  Th-th-th-that's all folks.  

 

I don't want to hurry through it because I have no idea if I'm ever going to
want to pick up the book again, depending on how it all turns out.  I'm one
who was really disappointed in HBP.  I keep thinking what if it just gets
worse in DH?  There won't be any more chances to make it right.  Even if Jo
does the most wonderful, surprising, awe-inspiring, all-questions-answered
ending, and all the threads are tied up just as I'd like, it's still an end
to something we'll likely never see again in our lifetimes.  I want it to
last.  I want to savor it, page by page, as though it were rich dark
chocolate melting across my tongue like velvet.  When it's done I want to
gently close the book, with a smile on my face as I gently nod and say,
"Yeah.  It's finished.  Thanks, Jo."  

 

Until then,

Anders
