<holding glass high> I'm with you. And I think my husband is even more excited. He doesn't read anything longer than instuctions for putting something together, and I can't stand that. He has a great imagination and would like to write children's books, but not badly enough to actually sit down and do it. By not reading, he's missing so many other worlds, so sometimes we turn the TV off and I read to him. As soon as we've finished the latest Potter book, he's already dancing around, anticipating first the movie, then the next book.

Can you imagine:
1. The pressure on Rowling to deliver a book that we will all love as much as the preceeding ones?

2. What it's like to know that on the day your book is released that literally half the WORLD will be sitting around reading it that same night? (Wonder what that does to the TV ratings?) How I'd love to be in her Jimmy Choo's!
