I'm looking forward to Dark Nest... and even though I'll probably get it within days of its release, I won't read it until I can get through the entire post-RotJ collection of novels. (marathon read of all SW novels, just finished RotJ today)

It's good to be back. I'm second-in-line to read HBP in my family, so I'll probably get to read it on Monday or Tuesday.

Same here, bro. I have absolutely no interest in HP whatsoever.




I can't stand Crappy Potter.

I got a call yesterday from Suncoast saying that the book would be in...but I never reserved that crap.

Really... that's as bad as calling it the "PU". I don't belong to a HP Defence Force, but come on. tongue

Yeah, Sats, play fair. If you don't like it, can't you state it simply and without insult, like the Grand Admiral did? You are supposed to be setting an example, being high up and all. Like Jaina said, it's just as bad as what we're supposed to be against. wink

Didn't your parents ever tell you not to judge things before you experience them?

I was in Bravo from when I was a wee cadet, and in that squadron clawed my way up to commander.

And then I moved to black when Bravo was put down. sad

Wonder why? batting

Started out in Alpha Squad under Narundi (Alpha Two), then took "command" of Delta in 2002. After the Great [The-Site-That-Shan't-Be-Named] Wars of that summer.

Loving HBP so far, and found a passage that I found particularly interesting (spoilers if you're not past page 262)

Dumbledore to Harry: "Yes, Merope Riddle chose death in spite of a son who needed her, but do not judge her too harshly, Harry. She was greatly weakened by long suffering..." This definitely applies to Padmé's death in ROTS. I just thought it was funny that the parallels were (unintentionally) there.

Got mine yesterday. It'll probably be quite awhile before I can start reading it, but I did flip through it (couldn't help myself) and found some very interesting things.

i'm slowly reading HBP, but I AM looking forward to Dark Nest. I just hope they don't go with the mantra of "killing characters sells books" like the NJO practically did. rolling_eyes

(one last thing about harry - the audio verisons are UNabridged. The star wars EU novels are NEVER unabridged. Only the audio version of the movie novelizations are available that way. WHY? ) Maybe this is something I should ask Del Rey. I hate when the audio books leave out major plot points. cry

Shawn, it is extremely hypocritical to bash Harry Potter in the EUDF thread. Please don't do it again. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of defending literature that one likes, doesn't it?

That being said, this book was AMAZING. I'd suggest that those interested in discuss it join the discussion in my HBP spoilers thread in JCC. happy

That was just... amazing. My last hour with it was just... wow. That's probably my new favorite, along with PoA.
