God I hope I don't eat these words, but I want to have at the very least started "Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone" by the end of the week. My goal is to have it read by Sunday, but I'm not offering any promises.

Isn't it a sad state of affairs that I'm saying that *starting* a book is a lofty goal? Starting a book should be easy peasy stuff. Everything else should be the hard part.
