HP7 in the freezer

There is a classic scene in the television program "Friends" (which often had scenes of under appreciated and brilliantly written comedy) where Rachel finds the book "The Shining" in Joey's freezer. When she asks him about it, he says it's his favorite book but it is too scary to keep out in the open. That's how I'm feeling 3 chapters into HP7. I need a break!
BTW, the Friends episode continues with Rachel loaning Joey her favorite book, "Little Women." A day or two later she finds it in the freezer. "Why is this in the freezer, Joey?" Joey replies, "Beth is sick and I'm afraid she might die!"

So, RL, are you going to drag this one out so that you can savor it as long as possible? At 700+ pages, it should last you for a while. Enjoy!

I am going to wait to read it. I know that a couple more main characters die, and I just don't want to let go of anyone in Harry's world! Also, it's the farewell book....and I don't want any of it to end.
Sigh.

Wow. I didn't know anyone else kept books in the freezer. When I was in college, a friend of mine kept the Book of Mormon in the freezer, and for some reason I have kept a copy of the novelization of the movie American Graffitti in my freezer since 1993. I've moved it about eight times, and one of the most enjoyable things for me about moving is putting American Graffitti back in the freezer, where it belongs. I've never actually read it.
