Why the fuck would sombody buy this shit. I mean it is really fucking dumb unless u r stoned.

2 Each it's own it's not 4 everybody but some people like it.I guess it's not 4 everybody.

Oh dont be so insipid and pompous. Its a book 4 children and it stimulates my mind. Although I havent read 1 I here they're well written and stimulating in the literature sense. I think its great 2 see children enjoying reading. 'Harry Potter will be drinking cocktails with playboy bunnies in a jacuzzi in Heaven' I say.

I work in a book shop. I personally have seen over 500 people pre-order the new book, and apart from 2 or 3 teenage girls they were almost all bought by adults. Adults who were all acting like stupid little kids. Nearly every one of them had a childish obsesion about them. Some days at work when I was feeling a bit down or loneily I saw these people and got really depressed. I just wanted to tell them that there was more to life than this stupid book. They all had things that I envied. They had their own families, good jobs, their own houses, cars, love, suport, and yesterday they couldn't care less about all those things that I'd do anything for. Instead they were queing outside bookstores at midnight so they could claim that they were the first to have it. I thought it was really pathetic. I havn't ordered News yet, but I will. I don't need to claim I oreded it on the first posible second to be a big Prince fan. Not that me being a big Prince fan matters to anyone else but me.

True. I guess after all the obsesing I've seen I'm just getting sick of it. I get tons of people asking the same old questions over and over. U know. It grinds on U. I guess it's the same with every job right?

Their behavior over Harry Potter is no worse, and in many cases much more normal, than how a great many people here act over anything Prince-related.

XxAxX said:

i have a mate ( 20 years old ahem ) who actually READS them!

CHAOSMAN87 said:

How do you know? did someone tell you what'll happen in the next book?
Are you pshychic?
Or are you actually the one behind Hary Potter?

That would be Ron trying to bum him. He's been a randy bugger since Hermiony shaged him when they first met (that's why his sandwichs were squashed on the train and he had dirt on his nose)

I bought mine at Barnes & Noble on Sunday, two nights after it was available... no line, no worries...however, I did pre-order it.

I paid $17.99 for it, that's 40% off the cover price!!!

I haven't ordered Prince's N.E.W.S. disc yet either, but I will... in due time, in due time...


Why is it that when someone is excited about something that another person isn't as excited about, or not at all, that it makes that other person feel superior... just be happy with yourself, you may be the one being envied by them. Even people with families don't 'have it all'... and this is a nice escapism for them too?

In the immortal words of Rodney King... "Can't we all just get along..."

Whatever you do, DON'T eat Bertti Botts flavored beans. I sat with the kids and we had a great laugh yesterday at this huge book store testing them out. I got one that tasted like SARDINE Sugary sardine! There is also Vomit and bugger and spinich! They mix a few of those with all the great tasting ones. My 12 year old suddenly wasn't hungry so we shoved them into my 7 year old! Was great!

CAMILLE4U said:

I bet they're at it all the time!

Muse2noPharaoh said:

I tried some of those too (my daughter had a box). It's incredible how they actually got these jelly beans to taste like that... dirt, vomit, boogers, pepper, sardine, grass, etc... We laughed all night trying them out. And yes, I tried them all out!!!
