We'd pre-ordered Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows from Amazon.com a while back. However, as the big day approached, we realized that one copy might not actually do it, since both Maria and I wanted to read it as soon as possible to avoid spoilers, and Anna wants to read it promptly as well (having just finished Half-Blood Prince).
So, profligately (is that a word), Maria bought a copy Saturday at Barnes & Noble, before delivery of our Amazon.com copy. She started reading it on the way back from the book store. Once the post office delivered the second copy, I started reading that.
I read it Saturday night, parts of Sunday during the day(including during a drive to the mall), and then in a final push to finish it up, stayed up last night until one-bleeping-ten AM. Remember, I'm supposed to wake up at 4:45AM to go running. I decided that that would be a Very Bad Idea and "slept in" until 6AM.
You just don't run into that situation when you're reading Editing Techniques for Final Cut Pro or DHTML for Dummies.
PS: spoiler-free brief review--it was very good.
