I couldn't help myself. I finished the book this afternoon after some marathon reading sessions. I just knew that if I waited until the week to finish that the inevitable spoilers would make their way through the security perimeters I'd set up. I now know who survives, who dies, who's good, who's bad, who's heroic, and if anybody gets to live happily ever after.
Intersting. I went back to proof read. (In spite of what you've seen me post, I actually do try to proof-read; I'm just incapable of proofing my own work; I always see what I expect to see, and not what is actually on the page.) Instead of "live happily ever after" I typed "liver happily ever after". I'm sure Freud would have something to say about that.
Anyhow, now I just need to stuff a cork in my mouth until other people I know are done.
