Isn't time supposed to be irrelevant on the internet? I.e. if I am in Taiwan and it is five in the afternoon here and five in the morning on the east coast, shouldn't I still be able to pay my bills online? Why can't I? This is extremely silly.

Grrrr.

I also desperately want to read the new Harry Potter, but I suspect I will not be able to get my hands on it in Taiwan. So I must wait three whole weeks! Argh. It's ok though... I wait much much longer for many books I want to read to finally come out in paperback so I can buy them. Just annoyed I can't read everyone else's opinions on it yet.

! I thought I was the only one that happened to! I've had several experiences when the library says I haven't returned a book when I have. It's quite annoying.. I always feel like bringing it out and waving it in their faces. Although I suppose the computers make lots of mistakes, given the nature of computers.

It does seem rather enormous for YA, but I love the fact that lots of kids are excited about the extra page length instead of intimidated. I know I am! And I desperately hope that Harry Potter will get people interested in the authors I adore right now, and a revival of YA fantasy is always a good thing!
