A fair warning: You throw any spoilers in my face... and I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds it's destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this FEAR ENGINE will bore a hole between this world and that one!
When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming - as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin.

I will open one of my six mouths, and I WILL SING THE SONG THAT ENDS THE EARTH!!

You are hereby forewarned.

-Fred

I'm with Fred, and please no spoilers. I'm already two books behind (shame on me, I know) but plan on reading the 7th eventually. I just hope I can avoid friends and media discussing it...

You go, girl. We're all with you.

Geez Fred, eat some ice! I read your post in the dark and looked around me to make sure I was alone.

It was meant in a humoristic manner Jim. It is the most over-the-top warning anyone has ever given in the history of written warnings. At least as far as I've found. Not to be taken seriously at all, really. I can see how reading it in a dark room and not being prepared for it can be... unsettling however :) Sorry about that. Slight tinge of Monty Python humor.

Ooooh, ice cream! Yay! :D

There are two kinds of people in the world my friend; Those with loaded guns, and those with ice cream to bribe the guns away. You bribe!

:lol:

Ah man, you got it in one. 4:30 in the morning and a few hundred pages in, I cursed my poor old body, and my corneas that seemed to slowly fill with ground glass; bemoaning my lost youth when I could finish behemoths like Stephen King's "IT" in one sitting.
After work and social obligations aside (and believe me, I watched the clock every damnable minute)......it is DONE!!!!


Spoilers ahead...........

Just kidding, you think I gotta death wish????


Cheers!
I'm now going to go pass out!

Good show Jen! Reading a book as thick as HP in record time is generally something that should be saved for immediate response folks (ie: police, paramedics, etc). Get some rest, eat a bagel. We'll be here when you recover. :D
