I have read it

and I have enjoyed it. I think it took me 9 hours to get through it, waiting for my plane, flying back to Toulouse and lazing on the bed monday afternoon.
The story is a fitting conclusion to the 6 previous ones, with the required twists and turns of the intrigue. It's also a departure from the other books, for many different reasons.

It closes an era, which had started when HP4 was published and I discovered the books. I'm not going to fall in depression over the intrigue or over the end of my expectations. I really enjoyed the 7 books, and hope to find the same excitement with other books and stories.


I'm currently reading Digital Fortress, from Dan Brown. It seems to be lacking on the technical part, as the Da Vinci Code did. But the scenario is nicely built. That's one book I'll have troubles remembering, 3 months from now, but it entertains me.

I have it

And will read it on sunday night in the plane and on monday!!
This fine example is my very own.

I wanted to show a pic of it, but I'm afraid JKR's lawyers are going to sue the bike and the HP book outta me.

'nother blog

Guess what's the subject? I'm separating it from my "personal" blog which is this one, because it's going to be less personal.
Different audiences, different editorial content (is that the correct terminology?), different places.

As a side-bonus and as an introduction, I'm the guy in the white T-shirt with the sunglasses.

here's the blog. trois roues, deux pedales

So I'm buying it.

It's gonna rip three thousand euros from my bank account, it's gonna be impractical, it's gonna make me look like a nerd/wacko/disabled/attention-whore. But it's gonna be mine.
Don't try to convince me against it. In fact, i've already ordered it and I should have it before August.

Too bad I have a tendinitis developing in my right knee.
