Whoo!
Hey All,
I finished the new Harry Potter book yesterday. It had been sitting on my bedside for about three weeks (after I bought it the day it was released and all), because for some reason I just couldn't get it together to read the damn thing. It's too big to be a tube book, and I don't tend to read at home that much.
Thursday night I actually picked up from where I had left off (about two chapters in) and to my surprise I found myself chugging through it pretty quickly, knocking down fifty or more pages without even noticing.
Without any spoilerising, I can say that the climax is pretty climactic, which makes it a little hard to follow (I can see at some point in the future I might read the whole series again).
But I did find it enjoyable, and I did find all threads nicely tied up.
Last Night: The Hard-Ons played a fast and furious set in Camden. Big thanks to Pete K for getting me on the list. When I got there their main support was playing, some German rock'n'roll/punk band that were almost exactly like The Living End, only without an upright bass and with German accents.
The Hard-Ons themselves were great fun, as usual. Blackie is still an amazing guitarist, and Ray never seems to get any older. It seems strange that some Australian bands have known something intangible about the true nature of great punk rock that the British are only starting to realise now (with bands like Gallows).
Anyways, more writing to do.
Over and out.
