Ok, I have to admit it: I like reading Harry Potter and have finished volume 6. When I wrote about documenting my skin and packaging it I just forgot about HP6 arriving this saturday…

Yesterday there was a chance not to read too much, since I met with friends for a BBQ (I couldn't help to start reading, though ;-). I really tried to get a break today, but it just carried on and on (as I experienced it with the other volumes as well).

So now I can go on reading William Gibson's “Idoru” (German translation). As I'm reading it the second time, I couldn't put the new HP away! after reading this I'd like to get the Neuromancer trilogy. I've been reading just the first volume, but the German translation of 1987 is so bad, that I thought about returning this book to the shop more than once—sometimes I was remembered of newspeak in Orwell's “1984”… Luckily the translation of the “Virtual Light” trilogy is much better.
