If anybody says "don't read" they are lying, because your poll is textual in format!

Missing option

[etherlad.livejournal.com]

I read quite a bit, but I have no real interest in the HP books. I wouldn't say I don't like them, because I haven't read them, so I wouldn't know.

I'm sure I'll read them eventually, but it's not really that big a deal to me.

[graveyardgreg.livejournal.com]

I usually read other people's copies, but this time, I think I'll buy the final book. I like the series enough to do that.

Delivered...

[viktor-haag.livejournal.com]

... but still haven't finished HP4, and probably won't for some time.

Re: Missing option

[adamjury.livejournal.com]

Another vote for this option.

Re: Missing option

How you get so pretty splitting hairs of this kind?

[fenchurche.livejournal.com]

Technically, I'll be picking up a copy later in the day on Saturday... only because it takes about three and a half hours to drive to Vancouver, BC from here. All our copies of the HP books are the Canadian editions, so we're going to finish out the series that way... and it's a good excuse to hop across the border to do a bit of shopping (All-Dressed potato chips = yummy).

Plus, this way some rocket-douche (I look directly at heraclitus can't slap you in the face with the trout of 'huge spoilers'.

In paperback, with the added codicil: it's an eventuality, but not one that I have any degree of anticipation for.

Doug.

[thebitterguy]

They could have it read to them.

Using lasers of some kind.

Or possibly a serf.

[noizangel.livejournal.com]

I dunno.

I'm just not as excited as I want to be. I might wait for paperback, might not.

What he said.

[elissa-carey.livejournal.com]

#3 & #6 -- my stepfather has it pre-ordered, and so naturally he's got dibs reading it first. (Unless he's nice enough to let me have first shot at it.)

Re: Missing option

[mollpeartree.livejournal.com]

Well, I felt kind of mean saying I didn't like them when actually it's just that I'm not interested in them.

Re: Missing option

[thebitterguy]

Well, not liking it doesn't mean you cast curses on people who do or anything. It's just "not my bag, baby".

[thebitterguy]

I am not atwitter (the past few weeks have had too much excitement for my old heart), but I am looking forward to it. I even just read through the SmartPop book about HP to get prepped.

[thebitterguy]

See if you can grab yourself a serving of Poutine, too. I didn't know that significant differences existed between US & Canadian versions.

Re: Missing option

[adamjury.livejournal.com]

There is a giant difference between not liking something and not having consumed it; or between not liking something and being apathetic towards it.

[noizangel.livejournal.com]

I want to see the ending... but I'm too cheap to buy the hardcover these days. It's crazy what adding on another 200K of debt will do to you! ;)

[absinthe-dot-ca.livejournal.com]

Telepathy? Speech-to-text software? Lucky guess?

Re: Missing option

[thebitterguy]

Not enough to require a whole new poll choice.

Re: Delivered...

[thebitterguy]

You're just gettin' it for the kids, aintcha?

Re: Missing option

[adamjury.livejournal.com]

You're either trolling or mentally deficient.

[summ3r-daze.livejournal.com]

I've got two copies being delivered. One for me to read first and one for daughter #1. Once we're done they'll get passed along to everybody else in the family.

We've got two copies of all of them. Because I tend to crack the spine of my books and my kids hate me for it.
What? It's a mass market book. Not a bloody Gutenberg bible.
lol

Re: Missing option

[thebitterguy]

Amusingly enough, in my own poll, I can choose what gets an option and what doesn't.

X + Adam's Breakfest Spaghettios = Adam in a pissy mood

X = Something that pisses. Solve for X.

Re: Missing option

[adamjury.livejournal.com]

Mentally deficient. I see.

[thebitterguy]

Although a book that thick can be read without cracking the spine, yeah, it's not that big an issue.

[thebitterguy]

That would be saint nice, that would.

Re: Missing option

[thebitterguy]

Seriously, did your parents just tell you needed to move out or something?

Re: Missing option

[adamjury.livejournal.com]

Oh, biting!

You posted a poll. Based on the number of replies you've had so far, a decent portion of the response was "you missed an option." You went "nyuh-uhhh! The poll is fine!" when it obviously wasn't. Simple logic, and you deny it. Logic > *

[shara.livejournal.com]

My option isn't on the list:

I have ordered it from my local bookshop, and I will be picking it up when they get it in, which is later than most people will get it, because small book stores don't get the book as quickly as big ones do.

Poop.

[lab-brat.livejournal.com]

I'd have it reserved if my library STILL didnt say "Harry Potter and the deathly hallows (Release date 21/07/2007. Due to the expected high demand for this title no reservations will be taken until the books are received. Please check again in July) / J. K. Rowling."

*sighs*

[tenzil.livejournal.com]

...so to speak -- greenlion and boy_1 are picking it up Friday night.

[cinn48.livejournal.com]

Technically I have a copy reserved at the library, but I'm number 213 on the list. The library is getting 80 or so copies, so I might only have to wait six weeks at most, even less hopefully.

However, I have many friends who own it and I might be able to get my hands on a copy before the library gets me mine.

I definitely don't want to buy the book, however, since I've got every copy in a matching paperback edition that comes out a year or so after the hardcover. I'll have to wait that long before I own it.

Re: Missing option

[neosis.livejournal.com]

I think you might be confusing "I don't like" with "I dislike". Although the first is often used to mean the second, they're not actually the same sentiment (the first is ambiguous about why they're not liked.

[thebitterguy]

But they've fixed it now, I see.

OMG THE LIPS ARE MOVING.

[thebitterguy]

Heh. We have GoF in the "Adult cover PB", OotP in "Regular Cover SC", and HBP in "Regular Cover HC". There's pretty much 0 consistency in ours.
