Half-Blood Prince countdown...

So in a little less than 10 hours time, what may soon be the world's most-read book is going to go one sale. Stores are opening at midnight just to sell it (I can't think of any other book that's true for), though I'll be getting mine tomorrow.
I will be dropping out of cyberspace at midnight, however. Every second website on the Internet -- even those that have nothing to do with the series usually -- are going to have plot details splashed over the front page, and I'd much prefer to actually get to those myself.
It's a good series. I've found it an excellent antidote to all the gods-awful writing I've had to slough through to get my degree. Dutring the schoolyear, I returned twice to the series to remind me why I'm actually studying literature -- or why, for that matter, I even read.
Without it, I doubt I could have gotten through Krazy Kat: A Novel.
