Re: [LM_NET] Harry Potter fun (no spoiler)

My husband & I picked up our copies Saturday evening, then went to Applebees for 
dinner. As we sat there reading while waiting for our dinner the waitress just 
shook her head, saying "You two are too much!"
what's she talking about...we couldn't just buy the books and let them languish in 
the car while we ate, could we???

        I still have nearly 300 pages to go, but thought I'd take a break just to 
comment on how wonderful it is to have so many people excited over a book.
        
        I was at an outdoor concert Saturday night, and a middle-school age boy 
near me was reading the book. When he got up to get something to eat, his mother 
took the book and started reading it!
        
        Then I took a train into New York City on Sunday, and saw several people on 
the train with copies of the book, and a man brought a copy of it into the 
restaurant where I ate lunch.
        
        By the way, I went to my local supermarket at 9 a.m. Saturday morning and 
purchased one of the many copies they had for sale. But I did hear a report on NPR 
this morning about how 1,400 people waited in line for their books Friday night at 
a bookstore in Bethesda, MD.
        
        Well, time to go back to the book!
