The Ending of the Subtle Knife

[Jaya]

When I read NL, I had to wait about a year before TSK came out. Then I had to wait another two years, I think, before TAS was published.

it was way more than two years. i remember this specifically.

did people do crazy midnight line-ups for book releases like harry potter... before harry potter?

No. Although some of us did stand, twitching, outside bookshops at 8am to get the books that they wanted to read which were being released as soon as they opened.

If I don't have The Amber Spyglass on hand right after I read The Subtle Knife, I'll probably be mad. But since I have it, I didn't care much about the ending.

It didn't make me mad, but it certainly made me impatient for TAS...
I didn't have the luxury of simply pulling it off the bookshelf - because I got TSK as soon as it was released I had to wait ages for TAS to come out

Hahaha I got into HDM late so I bought the whole collection in one book. I had no wait at all. I didn't even go to my bookshelf, I just flipped to the next page.
