Me? No, it's just a hypothetical scenario to give us something to talk about while we wait.

I would wait. 'Twould be interesting to find out the initials, but like Antenora said, I'd probably just guess the title. I found out who died in Harry Potter on the internet before I got the book, and I was really disappointed once I started reading and I knew what was going to happen. Therefore, I think it's more fun to have the secret kept.

It's one thing to talk in theory, but we all might act differently when faced with the choice in real life. I voted NO, I wouldn't peek, but I know I don't have that kind of real patience.

Now that it is so close, I would wait. In some ways, I don't want to know the title, mainly because it could annoy me very much, and I am afraid it's initials would be repeated letters (EX: THH, TCC, TRR).

I found out who died in Harry Potter on the internet before I got the book, and I was really disappointed once I started reading and I knew what was going to happen.... I was similarly spoiled about some aspects of TSS and TCC, and probably TGG as well, because either I got the book late or someone else got it early. I couldn't stop myself from looking at spoilers, although to be fair they weren't clearly labeled as spoilers by whomever posted them. |

If the bookstore worker offered the title to me, I wouldn't say no. I do agree that anticipation makes the experiance worth the wait, though.
On a similar note, I preordered my copy yesterday, and asked the bookstore lady if she knew the title, out of some desperate hope. She didn't, and it's not really surprising. Last year, I also ordered my TGG from there, and they didn't get the shipment of books until about noon on the release date.

I don't think I'd peek. But I can't really know for sure.

I was spoiled on a few aspects of TGG, because I was looking in places where I wasn't expecting spoilers. The later release date of TGG in the U.K. was really inconvenient for me.

I would sneak a peak at the first letter. Why? Are you in this dilemma? And you don't even tell us?? *raises eyebrow*
