I've been in line for toys, free gasoline and concert tickets and "supportive" and
"polite" are the LAST words I would use to describe those queues! That just goes to
prove what we all know: Readers are more civilized than the rest of the population.
That's one reason why being a librarian is so important. *SMILE*

It was so wonderful to see so many young people with their parents waiting for the
book at the "witching hour" so they could share the story together. What any writer
would dream of.. to have people so excited about their characters. I went with a
friend and her teenaged son and he won the drawing at Borders in New Orleans to be
the first in line. What a thrill and better yet everyone applauded for him. The
crowd was great and supportive of each other, polite and there were shouts of joy
when he came out of the store first copy in hand. The first 200 or so got free
posters. It was an evening to remember!

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!

You cant teach people to write well. Writing well is something God lets you
do or declines to let you do.
