So I’m listening to NPR on the way home, and they start off an HP segment by talking about the spoiler issue, etc etc. Then the guy says, “Here is our spoiler-free thought on the matter”.
And then goes on to say that the first person dies on page X.
*sigh*
I mean, yeah, everyone knows it’ll happen, and honestly, even if he said who or what circumstance, I doubt it would be spoiled for me – I don’t deal with reading in quite that way. Meaning, I take my time with the world, rather than gathering plot points like bulleted lists.
I just remember thinking, “Why, NPR guy? You could have said ‘this book is dark’ or whatever without having to lay out a page number.” And considering it came just after the story about spoilers, you’d think he knew better.
Ah well. I’m almost done rereading 6 – I’ll get to 7 when I get to it.
Hear hear on the getting to it. I’m a HP fan but I wasn’t frothing at the mouth to get it, nor read it. I was completely surprised to be given it as a gift on Friday night by a friend I went to visit. Not to say I didn’t squee and get excited, but I didn’t read it until I got home Sunday night and finished checking myself back into home. Then I even put it down to go to sleep! *insert completely shocked face here* How dare I?! I mean really?! ;D
I finished it a few hours ago and it was worth every second I waited to read it.
*hugs you*
it sounds like there will be plenty of spare books to borrow within the week. :-P
OMG that’s the perfect icon for that post. is that new?
*grins* Thanks! Came from just after TMBG show on Sunday.
