See Spot Run
My darling husband brought me a gift yesterday--the new Harry Potter book! I actually read an entire chapter last night. I am so jealous of people who say "oh, I read tons while I was nursing in the early weeks" because Lily is a sprinter when it comes to nursing. There's no way I have time to read anything other than the political cartoons in Newsweek during a nursing session. In any case, HP is the kind of thing you can read in little snippets without losing the plot. It's no War and Peace. It's nice to be feeding my brain again, even if it is junk food.

Have you read the other Harry Potter books? Sadly, I had someone standing in line for me the day the new one was released...

Yes! I read the first one, and thought "eh, not bad, but don't know if I'll bother with another." Then for some reason I ended up reading the second one, which I liked much better, and went on to read each one as they've come out since then. Only I've forgotten exactly what happened in 'Order of the Phoenix'...

Hermione dies in this book. During a three-way with Hagrid and Nearly-Headless.

It's a good thing I've read the book already, or else you would have spoiled it, Adam! Sheesh.
