How fast will you read Harry Potter 6?

[Eeralai]

This poll is for people planning on reading the new Harry Potter book. I think it will probably take me over a week to do it because of my daily schedule with the kids and I like to savor it. Thankfully it is coming out after my anniversary so I won't get consumed with it and forget my anniversary this time

Once I buy it, I expect my wife gets to read it first. So, it'll be a while before I get to go through it.

If I don't have to work on the day I purchase it [edit: and my fiancee doesn't get to it first], I'll read it within 6 hours.

It took me a couple of months to read Goblet of Fire, but that was because I was going through chemo and couldn't concentrate on anything.

Hmm...I'm trying to remember how swiftly I read through the last Harry Potter book.

I think I ate through it over a two day period. I'll probably do the same with the Half-Blood Prince once I get my hands on it.

When Order of the Pheonix came out, I read that over 3 days, but I was still writing exams. This year, I'm all ready done school, and I'll be able to read it in about a day or so.

O my some of you read fast


The last book took me and my fience (I spelled that wrong) almost 4 mounths at a relaxed pace. But that's also because we read it together in the evenings. I plan to do the same with this one so we will see.

Why let your wife read it first... read it together.

I'll wait for the paperback.

Also, finish the book before it.

Having known a few too many people who have had to undergo chemo, I am sorry you had to endure such an ordeal.

OTOH, me & HP -- I figure, based on previous reads of these books and the fact that I am currently between jobs, that it will take me about 2-3 days to read.

Probably within 24 hours, though it depends on when the delivery guy shows up. It's not like Harry's a slow read, and the books would be considerably shorter with adult-book-sized print.
