I don't know how I will react when I read the book. And if Wormtail and Bella die by the hands of Harry I think I will be overjoyed.

Yeah, I bet I'll be jumping and shouting with applause.
I remember when I was reading HBP, the part where Harry chases Snape after killing Dumbledore, I went to the room where my brother was sleeping coz it was the most peaceful room in all the house, and started reading and shouting "GET HIM! HURT HIM!" I looked like a dolt, my brother woke up with horror, looked at me then sighed and went back to sleep.

Wow Refo that was cool. I thought I was the only one that yelled at the books or screams when really enjoying a book. I just did that with the book Eldest (the 2nd book in the Eragon trilogy). I will probably applause.

Haha, it's really very satisfying when I do this, I love to completely live the event, as I usually do when the book is interesting, so you are not the only one, though my family thinks am the only crazy person in the whole world who does such things.  |

WE ARE NOT CRAZY JUST UNIQUE!! I know when I act like that, that I am reading a good book. I was telling a lady at work what I did and she said she loves when that happens because you then know that it was worth it. So see there are probably alot of us out there but they are afraid to say anything. We should be proud.
The kids at work noticed that when I read my lips move but no words come out. Now I know that is weird but I have done that for as long as I can remember.
I know that when I read this book I want to stay up all night and never stop reading it until I am done but I just don't think it will be possible. I will be crying so much I just know it. I am starting to tear up now thinking about it.

Lol, don't worry, I do it too. Everyone stares at me like "You're an insane person that needs to seriously be sent to an asylum" but, if the book is that good, than it is perfectly justified. The other thing about me with books is that, even on school nights, I won't put a book down. It'll be 3 or 4 in the morning before I go to sleep because I wanted to finish the book that bad.

Oh I know I have done that on week nights too. I read when ever I get a chance. I've noticed that the kids actually read books out loud but they don't realize it until I say something.

Really? I hate reading aloud! I have a very high reading level, (I was 12th grade in 3rd or 4th grade) but when I read aloud, you would think I was illiterate just because I'm so bad at it.
My mom and dad get mad all the time because they'll wake up in the middle of the night, and I'll have a small light on, reading a book. Even with books I've read a million times over, I do this.

Yeah some of the kids with high reading levels will read softly because they can't stand the noise the other students make while reading. The ones I work with are slow readers with different disabilities.
I don't remember reading when I was in school. I read more now than I did then. I think that is because my sister was a book worm and I didn't want to be like her.

I read aloud okay. But I don't like it when I read something too long. I never thought about my reading level. English is a second language to me, so I'd say I'm good enough.

I've learned to block out other noises, or focus on both at one time. I love multi-tasking because I get things done quicker. I can be reading a book, and listening to my teacher and taking notes at the same time. I actually do that a lot.
Everyone in my family is a bookworm, but I'm probably the biggest one.

I like to listen to music and read at the same time. I will read at work when the teachers aren't really doing anything. I guess I should say my sister was a smarty pants and I was always asked why aren't you like your sister. That always bugged me. Both my kids use to read alot when they were younger but now it is difficult to get them to read anything. They both have to read for English now.

Ooh, I hate being compared to people!
Music is great to listen to. Most of the time, it helps. Some of my teachers allow us to listen to our MP3s because of that even though it's against school policy to even have them on the campus. Reading for English... ahhh! Lol... We're reading Shakespeare's Hamlet right now.

WE ARE NOT CRAZY JUST UNIQUE!! Haha, yeah we are not, but guess that's my brothers' opinion, hahaha. *jaw drops* lucky you Leigh OMG! they allow you?! well, here students just listen while teachers are explaining the lesson, some of them eat too, I was surprised that some students still listen to the mp3 when we have the chemistry lesson, the teacher is as McGaggall-ish as anyone could be, people dont dare talking during his lesson, I wonder what they'd do if he asked them a question suddenly. |

That is nice that the teacher's let you do that Leigh. Maybe you should try Refo, j/k.
My daughter read Romeo and Juliet last year. She enjoyed it, plus they got to see the movies, the older one and the one with Leonardo DiCaprio.
My son loves reading scary books with murder and mystery. My daughter I can't even tell you what she reads because she changes her mind too much.
