It is finished.

I finished reading the seventh Harry Potter book about half an hour ago. I can't say much more than that right now because I fear spoiling it to those who know me well.

I began reading the book at about three this afternoon after it arrived in the mail. I would have been able to start reading this morning when I awoke, but Barnes and Noble disappointed me. I tried to pick up my reserved copy at midnight but since I had not been willing to wait at the doors since six o'clock in the evening, Ariel and I could not go into the store.

To those who waited for the six hours and received their copy 14 hours before me, I applaud your dedication. I wonder what your reaction was to the ending.
