HP 7 (no major spoilers)
My copy of the final Harry Potter installment arrived around 5pm yesterday. Pulling my first all nighter since my undergrad days, I finished it at 9:45 this morning. I suspect I was far from alone in this endeavor. I really enjoyed making a big deal out of it - it was just fun that way. And the cats kept me company all night. Eric came in every few hours to grin and ask me who else had died since his last inquiry. There is a rather inconsequential wizard couple who thoughtfully named their middle child Ellie, and even more satisfying, I share my birthday with the late Lily Potter.
Excellent conclusion to the series - you have to figure it was pretty good for ME to read 750 pages in less than 17 hours. (I'm guessing my bf Alyssa read it in half the time!) But a literary talent like JK Rowling comes along less than once in a lifetime.

We're not quite halfway through; we're done for the night at the end of chapter 16. I find it difficult to put down, but Christianne and I are reading it aloud to one another. My voice is hoarse from our endeavor, and Christianne just reaffirmed that she can only take so much of it at one time.
What a book.
