[the_old_crowd] Re: So how will you be reading?

[elfundeb]

I'm leaving the office now en route to my favorite Chinese restaurant
with my family where we will meet up with Joy, then go on to B&N to
pick up our books and, while we're waiting, help the kids select which
of the dozen books on their summer reading list they want to write
reports on.

Although I might peek at the first chapter tonight, I expect to rise
early and read as much as possible until it's time for my son's
baseball game.  I shall be praying for rain, a prayer that is
reasonably likely to be granted, given the weather forecast.

Unlike Pippin, I vow not to read as slowly and deliberately as I read
OOP.  Picking up on so many clues spoiled any surprise, which is one
reason I never really warmed to OOP.  I want to *love* HBP.

I aim to be finished by the end of the day tomorrow.  You'll know I'm
done if you see me online, because I am turning off the computer now
and won't turn it back on till I'm done.
