RE being too big for letter box -- now see, that's why I was waiting by the door when our postie came because sometimes if the parcel is too big for the letterbox the b*st*rd doesn't even bother ringing the bell.
But todays postie was a nice older man and I suspect he rather felt like Father Christmas - he had a right smile on his gob when he asked was it what he thought it was and I had my hand on the package trying to pull it away saying 'it is and I'm getting started right away' and he pulls it back saying he thinks he should get a fiver for eveyone he delivers and saying 'buggeroff' I snatches it away and he walks onto next door with another one laughing his head off!!
As long as I don't get to hear about the significant death before I read it.
Postie left mine in the porch. He was about 10 minutes late, so obviously had lots of parcels to deliver in the village! Bless.
But it's already got me hooked. Littl'un (12) and I are passing it between us as we do our errands and/or rest between them!
I personally think she deserves every penny she's made, old JKR.
Cath, tee hee you made me laugh
Juliejoo - young paskJ (11) and I have been able to "share" - so far - he's now outside with his pals AND he went to the cinema this morning whilst I was working, so even the eldest (17) sneaked a look
Reading in shifts, as it were, we're both on Ch 3
I was wondering what it is that keeps me reading ... I mean somes a bit corny, but somes very funny, visual, slapstick and quite racey, I mean you look at the size of the flippin thing, surely it should be shorter, more "tightly" written, but no, let other books have their lyrical style ...
Harry is just Harry and he's very real
- sod the run, I'm going to read whilst I got the chance
JJ - Had a bit of a session yesterday – well mostly last night – having retrieved the book from paskJ’s room after he fell asleep
Now on ch 11 - page 188 - had to hand it over earlier!! I feel i'm back in the thick of it now - makes me wanna read the others again - so much detail and characters
love the parallel worlds - gossip & character assasination in the "Daily Prophet" etc
I know we must be careful not to give away any plot on here, young paskJ is quite good at asking questions - but I wont tell him!! it's the first time I've been ahead - and it probably wont stay that way - as I am a painfully slow reader ...
Maybe JK has reached the position that Iris Murdoch was at before she lost her marbles, when nobody dared edit her writing. I think the job requires someone with big teeth, and I'm just off to e-mail my CV to Bloomsbury.
bb - I am astounded at the pace of your young readers! haven't read much since Sat night / Sun morning - Ch12 page 200
hope you are not bruised
how do you do it - you seem to have a v busy life!
i had to look up "denouement" in my PC COD
denouement /deI"nu;m2Q/
· n. the final part of a play, film, or narrative in which matters are explained or resolved.
– ORIGIN C18: Fr. dénouement, from dénouer ‘unknot’.
I wont lean on one side as mr pask has shoulder complaint from doing that
young paskJ reads quite fast (EVERYONE reads faster than me) and read the first 3 books several times while waiting for Goblet of Fire
but he wasn't interested at all until I left Radio 4 on in several rooms that Boxing Day 2000? 2001? when the whole of the first book was read aloud by ... er, name just fell out my head
Its Jim Dale that reads it for the US - him out of the Carry On Doctor films. How bizarre is that ?
Kevin read this and The Lovely Bones and most of the literary output of James Herriot this weekend. At least she got dressed yesterday.
