Surgery in 17minutes. I have my copy of Harry that I've been saving. Although I'm now wondering if compelling reading might be bad thing.

I managed to read it by getting the first 200 pages done one day, so that by the time I got 'compelled' the rest of the book was easily finishable that day...

Incidentally, the surgery didn't turn out to be in 17 minutes. Having turned up, got changed and prepped, they decided they'd eat lunch before the grinding got under way.
