Well, Amazon-UK shipped my copy of Harry Potter 7 yesterday, and it's slated to arrive between 7/27-31. I know everyone else who loves the books will have their copies in the next 24-28 hours, but I needed to complete my set. See, I bought the first two books from the UK before they were published in the US, and the third (and maybe the fourth?) was released in the UK about 2 months before the US release, so that meant another UK order. After that, the releases were simultaneous, but the UK editions had slightly different language, so I kept buying them. At this point, it'd be silly to not have all of the books be the UK editions whether or not there are any differences other than the covers.

Why read?

Is it the journey that you are looking forward to or the destination? I hope I'm not spoiling anything if I tell you that Hamlet dies.

The journey, definitely. When I'm engaged in a good book, it's a bit jarring when it ends.
