How can you take in any of the words at that rate?
It's not really THAT fast. My girlfriend reads about that fast, I can't read that fast just because I like to comprehend what I'm reading :P
She claims she comprehends everything, but then sometimes I'll say "what did you think about this little tidbit of a clue here" and she doesn't know what I'm talking about.
She always reads it really fast the first time, the day it comes out, she's usually finished in about 8 hours I think. She then rereads it at a slower pace.
I just can. I've always got a book, somewhere, that I'm reading through, and have done for as long as I can remember.
I always get through a book at around 100 pages an hour, but when it's something like a new Harry Potter, or something I've been waiting to get for a long time, I can get through it at some daft rate - usually up to 150 pages an hour.
When the last one came out, I read about 50 pages then decided to get online. Went onto an internet forum and the first like 15 threads just said "SNAPE KILLS DUMBELDORE" or "DUMBLEDORE DIES!!!!!"
I'm staying off the internet until I finish this one.
Me and Nikki are locking ourselves in our apartment and not turning any electronics on at any time during the time we're reading. I've had the ending ruined for me for almost every book so far. I had guessed the ending to number 6 though, before it even happened.
I don't think I've got to worry. I'll have finished it before anyone has the time to post it online.
Some very nasty people just skip to the end and find out what happens to ruin it for other people.
There's a video on youtube of a guy driving by a HP6 release party and yelling "SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE" if I remember right. It's kinda funny, but really mean.
In that case, then, I'll buy the book with my earphones in and my music as loud as it will, drive home without turning the radio on, and read it isolated from the world, just like everyone else.
Ahh yes the lonnnng awaited 7th book. K_A and I were kinda HP partners at one point after the 6th book came out. We talked about clues, and damn, let me tell you, I'll go off anything K_A says about HP. He knows his shit.
and Sov, i know hermoine will not die, if she does ill cut my dick off.
Snape may have been on Dumbledore's side but he prioritized his own life. If Dumbledore did not die, he (Snape) would. That's why i think he reacted so maniacally to when harry called him a coward.
