I am so grateful that I am not a Harry Potter fan. Never read any
of his books or seen any of his movies. I do not understand this
kind of "gotta have it now" mania, just as I can't understand the
need for special expensive "limited edition" sneakers which cost a
fortune. or special jeans which cost a fortune because of some
special label on the pocket.
Jay, I can agree with this 100%.
I am an avid book reader (and buyer) and I have often wanted to read
a new book. It can usually wait until the next day or until it
arrives by mail order.
Unfortunately, (or fortunately) I am not such an avid book reader or
buyer, but I understand exactly what you're saying. It seems people
are victims of marketing "hype" and forget what's _really_ important.
