Unregistered	Sorry guys, can't quote stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) But nope, CPPF does NOT know when itll be released (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Though like Andante says, there have been stroing hints that it will be 2007. Liz Calder, the Bloomsbury spokesperson/main thingummy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) has hinted that it will be then....though personally I'd rather wait for 2008 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) Andante, I saw that interview!! There was/might still be a poll on mugglenet on who people think will be the character getting the reprieve... Got slightly annoyed at all the kiddies on the interview who, given a one big chance to ask JKR a question, asked stuff like 'Who is your favourite character?'

Unregistered	I found it quite strange, Allannah, mostly in the way it is set out, with frequent "chapter headings" - took time to get used to that idea. It took me time to get used to the Time Travel idea - perhaps I am too firmly rooted in the present (at least I don't THINK I move around!!) But then when I got the hang of that, yes it was very good. I have a couple of friends who read it and thought it so good. One of them just about insisted I read it!

Unregistered	QUOTE(sarah-flute @ Jul 12 2006, 06:45 PM) QUOTE(Rosemary14 @ Jul 2 2006, 02:47 PM) I'm re-reading the Lord of the Rings, as a prelude to trying to read the Simalliron (again- its scarily difficult!) I managed the first couple of bits of the Silmarillion, then gave up when I got to the longer story. Must try again sometime... You must try again - the Silmarillion is fantastic - it just takes a bit of getting into. I've read it a couple of times, in fact it's probably about time for a re-read!

It's a heavy one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) And I have no idea why, but when I see "Yossarian" written on the page, I always think it says "YetAnotherPianist" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

But this does not mean I think you are odd. It's merely a visual misconception, induced by the tiredness I sustain whilst reading the book in the late hours.
