Well my nephew read through his copy of Harry Potter and the Half Blood prince and he kindly loaned it to me.  I really appreciate his generosity with his books. 

For this I will give him a couple of cds of music (Luna, Bob Marley, Daft Punk? post your suggestions, Shiv-readers).  Such are the deals that we make with teenagers now.

I thought those people who were re-reading the Harry Potter books 1 - 5 in anticipation of this one were a bit crazy.  But now that I am reading Book 6, I do forget some of the things that happened.  Even though it seemed to me that not much happened in Book 5.  What happened between Harry and Cho?  I can't even remember that.  Why was she so embarrassed to see him on the Hogwarts  train?  I may have to make a few phone calls.
