Re: OT: latest Harry Potter book.
I find the books a light read, a little too un-serious, and slightly childish. Overall it was a generally good read - though a book i can read in 24 hours isnt realy exciting. I'm not realy going to buy the latest (is it Last?) book because i enjoy "harder" readings - reading the Spellsong cycle now.
Still, for people not as fantasy/sci-fi crazy as me (i.e the general people) the book should be, and is  a great read.

Re: OT: latest Harry Potter book.
No, two more are scheduled. 
But... they give a nice break from hard Sci-Fi.

Re: OT: latest Harry Potter book.
100 years from now no one will be reading anything. Dont make me get into one of my gothic apathetic "life sucks" speeches, but lets say I highly doubt civilization will be around then.

Re: OT: latest Harry Potter book.
I'm really enjoying the latest one. Havent read any of the previous books. I rarely read fiction any more, but as I say I am really enjoying this one. Maybe it's the snippets of British culture that this particular exile misses more than he realizes. I found the movies a little chilish, esp the first one, but not the books.

You want "harder" readings? Stand on your hands while holding the book upside down. That will keep you busy for more than 24 hours while training your balance and arm muscles significantly. A win win situation
