"Brevity is... wit.": Gone quidditchin'

Saturday, July 16, 2005

Classrooms will be empty Monday, with all the cool kids skipping school to stay home and read for leisure. Or something like that.

Otters are already funny, but a bespectacled one is irresistible. Hairy Otter, I hope you find a copy with laminated pages.

Neel Mehta said...: Not this cool kid. I have two copies today -- for free -- just by waiting about 36 hours and reserving in the library database back in April.

Then I'll buy some deeply discounted new hardback in a few months to add to the other 5 books. (That's how it went with Order of the Phoenix, and how it will go with the 7th book, Harry Potter and the Magically Sprouting Acne, due in 2007.); July 17, 2005 1:04 PM
K-Lyn said...: 2007? Sounds optomistic as she has announced she will take time off to spend with her new baby and then the fact that this is the last book. I fear how long this will take!!!; July 18, 2005 11:36 PM
Neel Mehta said...: Maybe you're right, but Order of the Phoenix came out only 2 years ago. It's optimism with precedent.

This cool kid's gonna have to wait a little longer; I have two cousins in town, and both are Harry Potter fans. My sister and I decided to be gracious and loan each our library copy. (I was going to reread the first 5 anyway, so I'll do that to bide my time.)
