    OMG!! I read quickly, but I have barely scratched the surface. I think I am spending too much time getting caught up on the Tour after my trip to Bend! I better get reading!!

    I tell you, that's a hard book to read lying in bed. It's HEAVY!! My upper body strength is not what it used to be.

    YES!! I had the same problem. I tried to lay it on my bed and lean over it, but I got sick of that and finally just went back out to the couch.

    I am about 2/3 of the way through... will try to finish tonight as I have a friend who wants it.

    So far am loving it, but am also sad that it is the last one

    Hi, I'm Heather and I'm a widow to Harry Potter. DH has been reading it non-stop between working and watching le Tour. He won't talk to me. He doesn't hear me when I call for him. All he does is sit and read and eat cookies and milk. It's like he's reverted back to the fifth grad. God love 'im.

    Bad Mr. Silver!! My mother read the last chapter before she would consent to reading the entire book. I was pretty disappointed in her!!

    I have to admit that I peeked at the last chapter after I was over halfway through. Bad me. But, I was glad I did. I finished early yesterday afternoon.

    My friends and I are debating whether books 5-7 are actually appropriate for children. What do you think? I mean, I'm just happy to see kids (and adults of all types) reading, but there was an awful lot of life/death going on in the final 3. Very, very interesting.
