Funk Babblings

Last Friday night I was number 30 in line to get the new Harry Potter book at Borders.... but because I was just standing in for a friend who'd had to leave, I didn't get my own copy until the next day at the grocery store. Over the past week nontacitare and I have been leapfrogging through the book, with her usually stopping exactly a chapter ahead of me -- without knowing where I'd stopped. (I often just remember the chapter or page number rather than marking the page.) However, she had started out with a list of spoilers, and first skimmed the book verifying them all, while I struggled all week to avoid any hint of spoilers.

I finally finished the book tonight. Some of my thoughts along the way....

( Here be spoilers.... )

I hope to write soon about some other books I've been reading lately.
