This kid is my hero:

"Eleven-year-old Geronimo "G" Gisleson, of New Orleans, received his copy Saturday and was up to page 650 by midday Sunday.

"When his mother, Susan, went into his room Sunday morning, she realized he'd been reading all night, using the light from a bathroom across the hall that had been left on as a night light for his younger brother.

"'He was sprawled on the floor with the book next to him,' she said."

I used to do that when I was little! I would leave the bathroom light on and read by it.

Good for him!!!

I managed to convince my parents I needed a bright night light on IN my room for YEARS.

...this may have something to do with why Mom wouldn't let me go see Star Wars "'cuz it would give me nightmares", now I come to think of it...

I am truly impressed with the "read all night" thingy, tho. I usually had to get some sleep at that age!!
