Just noticed that, and yeah... 7 hours is my reading time for Harry Potter 7. (I know this because we got it at midnight, I sat up reading it, at 7am my dad went out cycling and I was just finishing the epilogue. I spent about three days feeling like I was going to explode because I couldn't talk to ANYONE about it because nobody else that I knew was obsessed enough to have finished it yet.)

Yeah, just noticed that as well. I took about 7 hours to finish book 6 and I wouldn't consider myself a fast reader. Got it when my sister brought it home after work and finished it that night at maybe 3am. Thankfully, I had a high school friend who's as obsessive as I am and a way faster reader so we went into discussion mode the next day.

Agreed. My record is probably finishing a 400 pages book in 7 hours (not even close to mangaluva, but english is my third second language after all)

Well, okay, I shouldn't have said 7 hours. It was 2 years ago, so I don't remember exactly how long it was until I reached page 110. 7 hours was the time it was from CT to California. I might've stopped after 2 hours.

In Swedish I read about 2 pages per minute I guess, English should be somewhat slower.

Cleodina Jones WINS, I will state that here and now. (Though her readthrough of Breaking Dawn is not for the fainthearted, especially if you haven't read the book, and you can be excused for not having read the book.)

oh no, why did you want to read HP7 so fast? D: I read it for a week, it was hard but I didn't want it to end. And then I cried for another week. Not really but almost ...

I gave Twilight a chance (the first movie) because I only heard really good reviews. And it was really bad. I also gave a chance to the second two movies and they were also bad. But okay, I guess the first one sucked the most. They didn't convince me. Not even the wolf kid with his body .. I'd feel like a pedo if I found him hot  ::)
I don't plan to read the books, vampires (sparkly or not) were never really my thing .. and that Bella girl's character is so freaking annyoing

Pedo? But he's like nineteen... about my age ♥

The Twilight movies are remarkable as movies-of-books because they are unusually true to the books, abandoning little in the way of plot or characterization the way movies are normally forced to to save time/make it visually cooler. It acheived this mainly because Twilight doesn't have much in the way of plot or characterization to lose.

You're welcome :) And don't apologize to Twilight fans, they're generally mental anyway...
