Well, the wife and I preordered via Amazon, AND we're going to the local bookstore event tonight. The initial plan was just to go see what it was like, but with both of us wanting to read it immediately, we might walk away with a copy tonight as well...

That's normal and acceptable behavior, right?

I'm in a low-level media blackout, too. Last time I had the big event at the end spoiled by a frickin' AP wire story - they noted that betting on a certain event had spiked drastically after a copy of the last book was leaked. Well, duh, AP, you just ruined the suprise! So you're never safe from spoilers, apparently.
