Hypermarkets shoving wands up bookstores' *bleep!*

Excerpt from www.thestar.com.my

Now Playing : "You and Me Song" - The Wannadies

That complicates things, since I was going to go to MPH 1Utama tomorrow morning to buy my own copy of JK Rowling's final installment; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (did anyone notice how the article got the name of the book wrong? Some reporting!). 

Earlier today, I did hear about these hypermarkets selling the highly anticipated books at these (cut-throat) prices but having to show up before 7am and face the highly possible masses turned me off and I would rather shell out RM109.90 to avoid all this. 

But now, it seems that I have no choice.

If I do decide to join the hordes of people during the ungodly hours of the morning to get my book, wish me luck that I don't get trampled on or happen to hear some over-enthusiastic and impatient fan flip through the book to read the end of the book first.

Will definitely post pics.
