Today is...

...Harry Potter day! Around the world, the fifth novel, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, is on sale. I glanced through the UK version of the book at Kinokuniya at Bugis this afternoon. It is a very big book, indeed. Will children be able to lift it themselves? Will they weep when they learn who perishes? Will the paper be absorbent enough to handle their tears? Well, there should be enough pages to take it all in.

Right, I'm just writing nonsense as I wait for my brother to bring home our copy of the US version of the book (to match the US hardbacks in my series). Thank goodness for Borders! It came to the rescue of the book geek in me.
