And don't think that I can be bothered to go out and buy it, either. I don't like carting a hardback book around, because it weighs too much to easily carry around and I'm usually weighed down with things like legal papers, which are more than heavy enough in and of themselves. Of course, I always have a book on me. But in paperback.

And no, I can't spend the weekend reading it. I've got things I must do, including reading yet more of a seemingly unending stream of legal papers. Spent all week in court so am way behind on the paperwork, plus being involved in a five-day hearing is knackering.

jacquez, this is why I haven't got back to you yet re Chapter 2 yet, for which my apologies. I will get back to you over the weekend, I promise.

It looks like I'm one of the few people who is largely unmoved by the Potter-love. Don't get me wrong, I like the books and enjoyed reading them. Ditto watching the movie-versions. And I have a soft spot for Harry/Draco (but then the sexual tension between not-friends is a kink of mine). But I'm not salivating over the prospect of reading Order of the Phoenix like I would be over a new Guy Gabriel Kay or CJ Cherryh novel, for example.

That said, spoiler whore though I am, I am curious about whether/who dies. But I'm relying on some of my friends (looks

alsoa's way) to tell me.

Off to read some legal papers.
