Hold hard, Sir! The book appeared in UK shops (and through my letter box) this very day. I should think that it will take until the weekend to read it, what with ...

How many of us have read BATM? I'd like to read others' reactions without the risk of spoiling it for the bookless? Direct communication, anyone? And not a spoiler, I hope, but I suspect that those who were disappointed or made uneasy by ThHD will find BATM both pleasing and something of a relief.

Hear her, hear her. I received a phone message today from my local bookstore that my copy was ready to be picked up, but I can't read it until after November 6th and my email automatically goes from one to next, so I don't know what I'll do if any email before the 6th.

    Susan is already reading, Bruce is probably tiptoeing into the stockroom of Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com informs me that my copy is on the way.     I should like to read it slowly and savor every word. I should like to tear right through it so I can discuss it with you all.     Since I don't know what I really WILL do until I have the lovely book in my hands, I would like to remind everyone (in the most gentle and unassuming manner) to please, please, please use spoiler alerts i ...

I just found out that my local private bookstore has BATM in stock, so tonight after work, even though I am wearing a new and tight pair of shoes, I'm going to walk down State Street and get my copy. Gerry Strey (Anticipating, anticipating, anticipating. . . .)

And keep it up for the earlier ones, too -- this particular lissun is only through FoW on her first time through the canon (a little thing called school keeps getting in the way). I survived THD not too badly, after TIME magazine let out the biggest spoiler of them all, I think, so I'm not terribly worried, but I do want to read the things I will understand and not scare my roommate by screaming "That can't happen!" at the computer do to spoilers. I want to be able to live h ...
