Read Count

How many times have you read book 6?

I am on my second reading right now and I have to say it is better than the first. Foreknowledge is a wonderful thing, except in the cases of Media (Jason's wife) and that guy from The Dead Zone. But I can more fully appreciate the novel as it unfolds now as opposed to before when I was rushing to find out what happened, y'know?

Yep. I'm on my second too. Taking it a bit slower this time. Though I'm trying to allow the majesty just wash over me, gotta admit that I keep feeling the analytical eye focusing in over my shoulder. Have to shake my head and knock it out of the way; this reading's meant to be about me and the story... I'm losing, I think.

i'm with you fenrirbound. i'm another one of those people who likes knowing a story before I read it/watch it. It helps me relax if I know what's gona happen and then I can just focus on the unfolding 'whats', 'hows' and, possibly,if you're lucky, the 'whys'.

I think there is a psychological condition for the feeling of being watched by the all seeing analyitical eye. Paranoia? Seriously, I know what you mean and how it sometimes seems as though the world tries to call to its needs and bemoans your own.

i plan on reading it again lol.after my mother that is lol and she takes forever!!

im on my 2 time reading it

a read count eh?

Lets got through all the books, eh?

SS: I lost track at 12 times, and that was years ago. 25 is probably about right...

CoS: 6-8

PoA: 6-8

OOtP: 3. (To tell the truth, I really didn't like OOtP too much. Never did. I was worried that JK had lost her touch. I read the book when I got it, once over the next summer, and two days before the release of HBP. It's just not very... entertaining. It has too much flat, dry plot.)

HBP: 3 (Will be more soon!)

I freaking love HBP. Granted I was a H/Hr sort of fellow, but I can't argue with HBP. It's excellent. There's a constant humor about it... I loved the bezoars section... 'Birthday suprises' was the most excellent chapter ever. In history.

To be honest, I was scared after OOtP that she would produce steadily worse books. Many an author has traveled this route- They publish one great book, but there next is good, the next so-so, the next crummy... But JK has risen above the pathetic decline that marked the last three star-wars movies. Instead of being a steaming pile of suck, HBP was easily her greatest. I love it. But why am I talking Screw the rest of this post, I have a book to read!

Take 4!

I have Just finished reading it for the second time.I got alot more out of it this time I will probably read it onemore time before taking a break.

I'm starting it for the third time, I'm totally in love with this book, it think that it is the best so far... simply brilliant. And I agree with awigo50... that part about the bezoar... "just shove a bezoar down their throats", that was genious.

im reading it again 4 the 2nd time but this time im gonna read slowly cause last time i sped through the book and now i realize how it all falls into place like in spinners end thoer talking about dumby, and who kills him snape, also, im gonna read the whole series 2
