OH MY GOD I just finished Harry Potter. Was that good or what? Seriously, I don't know how it will stand up to repeated reads, but for the moment Half-Blood Prince has overtaken Chamber of Secrets as my favourite.

I won't go on and on about it incase you haven't read it yet (and if not, why not?), but rest assured that I found it exceedingly excellent.

LAUGH! at the (contrived) love lives of our three noble heroes!
GASP! as thrilling secrets are finally revealed!
CRY! as a beloved character is sent to a chilling end!
etc. etc.

Only problem is, now what am I going to do? I now have that hollow feeling one gets having finished a really good book, and knowing that nothing else I do all day will come anywhere close. Oh well. I still have to catch up on the TV I missed while on holiday, which includes The OC season finale. God bless melodrama.
