HBP - where will you be?

[chthonya]

I woke up this morning (well, that's not strictly true as I'm not sure I ever got to sleep last night) and thought, "Hmm, this time next week we'll know who the Half Blood Prince is (unless JKR is winding us all up)."

Are any of you guys going to be queueing in Edinburgh?

I've been dithering about where to head to pick up my copy. I'm leaning towards Ocean Terminal, because:

• the best mainstream cinema in Edinburgh is showing the PoA film at 8pm that night
  
• there's a bar in the centre to while away the time if the queue isn't too long
  
• it's indoors so it'll be more comfortable if it rains

On the other hand, it's kind of tempting to stay in the city centre and watch the carriages arriving at the castle...

And Waterstones still haven't confirmed their price yet. Grrr.


Anyhow, while reading the book is a solitary activity (at least, it will be for me), I'll be thinking of all my friends reading it too, and wondering how you're all getting on. So:

1. When and where will you get your copy?
   
2. Where will you be while you're reading it?
   
3. Are you planning to read it in one sitting?
   
4. How will you be reading: slow-and-thorough or as-fast-as-you-can?
   
5. When do you think you'll be finished?
   
6. What will you be eating (and who's going to do the cooking ;)?
