[14:22] * aio finishes the book, beams.

... not a bad way to spend four hours and ten minutes, heh. And best of all was knowing that Paul, who had a ten-hour head start, finished twenty minutes before me, and no more. ;)

I'll be going back and re-reading much more slowly over the next week though ... maybe. for now, I s'eeps.

Holy cow. Four hours and ten minutes? That's impressive :)

I didn't want it spoiled, and I didn't want to spend too much time offline either -- for one thing, I work this evening, and am at the mercy of customers and co-workers there -- so reading it quickly was rather in order, heh. ;)

Makes sense. I'm slowly working my way through it. So far it's picking up pace. Already experienced two losses though. The first one was very sad :(

Admit it, he re-read 5 and 6 first, didn't he? ;-)

[kuangning]

He did, but the time didn't include those. I started counting from midnight, he'd finished with book 6 at 11:30. And I wouldn't care except for his wisecracking about America being the last country in the world to see the book. ;)

Heh, took me about twice that time, but admittedly I did more than just read during that time period, nor was I rushing the book.

I was 5.5, but the benefit was I work nights and have complete ability to read while they sleep providing no one is awake. God bless my folks they slept all the way from when I started my shift (11pm) to 6:30am this morning so I was able to re-read a couple parts again too. I did in fact read slowly. I was right about RAB!!!! But unfortunately wrong about some other assumptions though I figured the Deathly Hallows bit would work to one of the protagonists's favour somehow
