Yeah unfortunately the Harry Potter series caught me during my rebellious "why should I read what everyone else is reading" phase so I've never bothered.

Okay... THAT I can understand.
I have to admit as the books progress... I am less likely to buy them anywhere near the release date. Not nearly as obsessed as some people are... Sheesh...
