That's boring.

What about "Harry Potter and the Half-Dead Virgin"? Or "Harry Potter is Half the Man He Used To Be" or even "Harry Potter and the Half of Half is One-Fourth"?

I am excited for it. I want the next book now!

And she better not take forever with the 7th, or else!!!

Pheh. You guys think this is taking a while? Just think about what the poor fans of Wheel of Time are going through (for the record, I'm not a fan of the Wheel of Time series although I do read the books eventually). It's been something like two years since the last book which advanced twenty plot threads a total of thirty pages each or so. So that means fans not only have a long time to wait, they also know that the plot is going to advance by about two days whenever the next book arrives.

I think I can relate. I mean, waiting two years for the sixth and final season of The Sopranos.

Anyway I already put myself down for a copy of the sixth book at Barnes & Noble last night. I might just take a few days off from work after July 16 of next year so I can read this book.

First, I can't believe jeepnut beat me to the news. Of course, I'm not up on my internet browsing because of vacation.

Second, I don't know what I should do... I'll be in France when it comes out. Such a dilemma!

But I can't wait!!!

I bet it comes out there before it comes out in the U.S. Because I remember when book five was released, I was in Australia with the high school band and some students bought it and had finished it in like two days and were bragging about how they got to enjoy it before their U.S. friends at home.

If you buy the foreign edition, you'll have to settle for the not-as-good cover art though. The U.S. cover art is the best.

I may just have to go ahead and get both. I like the books enough that I wouldn't mind having two copies.

Ugh. The Wheel of Time. I tried reading that, but it moved soooo slow. I read the first book and enjoyed myself well enough. But I got halfway through the second book and quit. It went hardly anywhere in that time. It felt like, to me, that Robert Jordan either didn't know where he wanted to take the story and stalled, or thought he had to match the length of the first book but didn't have the story to match.

The Song of Ice and Fire series is much better.
