Harry Porter’s next offering is titled Half-Blood Prince or something like that. I was strolling past a bookshop during lunch earlier today and lo and behold, a 4by4 poster strung prominently across a pillar inside that bookshop (Dymocks) says they are taking orders now. It is a countdown poster, for 100 days. They have marked it to the 87^th day, so presumably there are 86 days left to go. It costs $29.90, rrp $45.00. A shop assistant told me sales are going well and they are encouraging pre-launch purchases. I was wondering if I should buy it for kiddo when I woke up and realised I should buy a book after I read reviews for it, not before. Unless I love the author, which I don’t. Not really. Kiddo of course, is crazy about this series and would surely have loved it if I’d bought it. I think I’d wait. There was a far more interesting book titled “1001 Movies You Should See Before You Die”. Hmm… I love movies, but that’s not the reason I live. I flipped through it, and of course, it is filled with classics galore. Kurosawa, John Ford and Hitchcock are the only directors I recognised for pre-60’s movies. Of course I didn’t go through it thoroughly. I’m sure there are others I would have known. Didn’t buy it of course, because this monster weighs in at over a thousand pages and it’d be uncomfortable reading in bed or the throne, my two favourite reading places. Didn’t buy the discounted Da Vinci code, either (only $15). In fact, haven’t even finished the last 2 books I borrowed from the public library. I should do something about my reading. I know I get tired of reading at the end of a mostly …reading and writing day, but I should resume my reading.
