im talking about the seventh which is released the 21.

Rereading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I'll read the last one, if just for the sake of completion. But I wanna see the fucker die. You know what? HP has the most annoying fanbase ever. Little kids and gay emos.

Yes, that was a great book. I didn't like it as much as you did but it was indeed quite a lolocaust at times

I know every spoiler possible for the new Harry Potter even though I haven't read it, will not read it and haven't read any book of the series.

Page 606 omg this is an outrage!

I heard it ends with Harry blowing the entire world.

Wrong. It ends with Harry throwing Voldemort off a roof, while yelling "yippee kai yay, motherfucker." Harry then becomes a born again Christian and begins an inquisition at Hogwarts.

And to those who have read spoilers, or who finish book 7 first: It'd be appreciated if you did not state them in this thread, or any other thread other than one marked as containing spoilers. Thanketh ye.

Ok. Just one: hermione, lube, buttsecks.

figure it out

Rowling has no originality- everybody was clearly expecting the Hermione/Hagrid/troll butt sex.

More summer reading.

Protector of the Small: Lady Knight

Go go female fanbased fantasy.

And I'm going to read Half blood prince again before the new book comes out.

I've read this for two different classes and once for personal interest. I enjoy the war stories but the rest is less interesting. Yes, all of O'Brien's stories are poignant I'm just not one for sappy tales. The sappy stories are good during the initial read but after reading and analyzing them several times they have become boring.

The book is full of symbolism as well and after reading that professor book you mentioned earlier, this book is a great sample to study (ie: the murdered buffalo).

I just bought The Scar by China Mieville today. I've read about 10 pages, but that counts as now reading. I also bought Flow My Tears The Policeman Said by Philip K Dick.


(<3 x 10,000) PKD. My favourite author hands down.

I have two days to read the books I want to read before university starts again. Intensive, one-sitting book absorption here I go!

... or maybe I can just skip out on some essential reading material during the semester and read the 50+ books I've bought and haven't had the time to read.

The Scar is amazing- its Perdido Street Station with better characterization and a main plot that doesn't suck, with even better worldbuilding than Perdido.

I enjoyed Perdido Street Station, but it sort of flopped a bit at the end. <spoiler of sorts> Yagharek's story is downright disappointing and somewhat out of character </spoiler of sorts>. It was still enough to get me somewhat addicted to Miéville's style.

Really? I enjoyed Yagharek's story and its ending, as well as Isaac's attempts to develop flight- it was the four hundred page moth chase that I objected to.

Well, his personal struggles are awesome, but I expected a much cooler crime and ending. He doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would do that, and it seems a little random. Maybe that's deliberate. *Sasheron loses 10,000 vocabulary points for a lack of eloquence in this post*.

I think that without a crisis like the moths the story would not unfold well, but admittedly it is somewhat irritating when the focus is switched from Isaac working on developing flight to wild monster-of-the-day shenanigans.

You're going to read it in one day?

I've done that several times. It's not impossible, actually it's quite good because that way it's possible to absorb the entire story in one go instead of forgetting details during extended breaks.

I've done it myself, but it's usually on a day I have nothing else on.
