| |  5th Harry Potter Book
To any that haven't heard, the 5th book, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix", is due for release June 21st.
The British/Canadian version is 768 pages long  , and I don't know how long the american version will be. Its about a third longer then the the 4th book.
As the HP fan I am, I can't wait.

Thats three more.. | Wrong meter, Mr. Jackson is doing a great and immersive work.
I made the mistake of watching Episode I... 
The "battle" looked like a brazilian carnival, all coloured and comical.
While the scenes meant to be comical weren't even good for kids, so predictable and abused as they were.
I'll spare me such a suffering again, so it doesn't matter how long they are....
(This is my opinion, at least ) |

| | Tom Clancy's Executive orders, which is supposedly his best, before the dismal days of The bear and the dragon or Red Rabbit. So far it's very good.

| | | I read H.P 4 in like 4 days, cause I didn't feel inspired enough do really read the book. I did however read a 1200 page book in 24 hours one time, best book I ever read I think......it was Heart of Winter by Robert Jordan......
