from morgan's wall

me: NOW hot topic is carrying a harry potter scarf. and i just saw the half-blood prince commercial and it becomes abundantly clear to me that i do not remember the plot of that book whatsoever. when the hell did it come out?i know i read it, because i know who the hbp is, but still...

ilena: it came out the summer before we went to college

me: ok that means i read it at boarding school so there's no way i was high or anything. i totally remember the ending because when i lent the book to the next kid on the list (we only had like three copies among the whole school) i said "get ready to have your heart ripped out!" and ran away crying (keep in mind everyone cried all the time at carlbrook). that's a lot to recall about a book whose plot has entirely escaped me.
