My new (and very heavy) copy of Harry Potter arrived today. I pre ordered it and forgot all about it. I get my books and other stuff from Amazon. They are really good. I got an overnight Saturday delivery upgrade. They did this the last time a Harry Potter book came out also. It is a smart marketing gimmick. People may not order the book online if they have to wait for it to get to them, so amazon gives you overnight shipping for the price of ground and then puts all over the box “DELIVER ON JUNE 21, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DELIVER BEFORE JUNE 21!” That was a direct quote. It is kinda funny. I am going to start reading it tomorrow, or maybe start the first chapter before I goto bed.
Word of warning, be careful of Amazon’s one click pre ordering. I have already gone through like $175 of book and DVD charges this month because I pre ordered a bunch of stuff in March. I wanted everything but never did the math on getting things billed all at the same time. That Amazon.com does their job way too well…
Gus gave me a book by Vince Flynn, called the Third Option. He say’s it is like a Tom Clancy novel, and he knows I love Clancy. It has been sitting on my desk at home since I got back from vacation. it will wait a bit longer while I try to push through Harry Potter.
I have not read a new book in ages. I have been busy and most of my reading is consisting of magazines and the news. I haven’t seen anything good I have wanted to read and now I have 2 books on deck. That is always the way it happens, drought and flood!!!
