Default Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows (SPOILER FREE)
I just finished reading it after 9 hours locked in the study (since 1am) with a bottle of strongbow and a few packets of peanuts. I must say it's a brilliant book, but didn't live up to my expectations. What about yous guys?

P.S. - Should I go to bed and sleep off my knackeredness or stick it out just incase I ******* up my body clock lol.

I got mine early this morning.. haven't read it yet because we bought three copies and my dad,sister and other sister took them.. so I'll wait!

It's not as thick as I thought it would be, but I can't wait to read it!

(If I was you, I'd go to sleep now)

You been up all night to? Or are you an extremely fast reader lol.
Half of me wants to stay up to stop me messing up my system and to avoid waking at midnight and being awake all night again but the other half of me is dying to lie down and sleep and my eyes are closing themselves lol.

I went to see Live Free or Die Hard last night at my local mall/movie theater (since they're together) and my dad and I were unfortunate enough to park by Barnes & Noble (The Bookstore)

So the movie was around 10, and we didn't get out until 12. We could barely get to our car since all the fanboys were reading the book outside of the bookstore.

What was your favourite part?

Mine was the "19 years later" bit lol.

Aparantly the deathly hallows is set in the year 1998 meaning the philosipher's stone was set in the year 1991. Meaning harry was born in 1980!
