What an AWESOME story!! ! :D

I can't wait to see the film.

I'm starting Stranger in a Strange Land.

Try 18hours! 12 Noon (launch day)-6AM the following morning ALL 36 chapters! It was like a videogame level just 1 more chapter just 1 more chapter finished it at 6AM. LOL! Glad you liked it. I'm currently rereading it to prepare for the movies aswell. :-) I reread Eclipse before that movie came out (IMO that movie went too fast 20min. in and you are nearly half way through the book!! !!) I didn't like it as much as Twilight and New Moon and yet critics/others were like OMG it's better than the last two movies. IMO it moved WAY too fast for its own good! :-)

Books 4-7 I got on the midnight releases and read them from midnight to whenever I was done that day. Then I had to read them again several times :) The first three were already out when I got interested in them. I love them, one of the few works of fiction I enjoy - though I have to say the last one was my least favourite.. and I dread the films.. but since they're doing it in two parts, perhaps they won't screw it up too bad.
