Harry Potter and the Deathly Harrows (not a book review)

Everyone's got it. I just put myself on the list to get it from the library. I am number 671. A fellow shuttle rider asked me why I don't just buy a copy. I said: "because I'm into denying myself the small pleasures of life." The real reason is that I don't want to deal with having it after I've read it. I only buy books used, from small independent publishers or by unestablished writers. JK Rowling doesn't need my money. I care more about that than immediate gratification.
