1) Sometime between the release of tPoD and WH. I'm honestly not sure exactly when. I was in the 7th or 8th grade.

2) I'm out of college, married, and working in the IT field which I've pretty much always wanted to do. In early 2012 it will be much the same I imagine.

3) I will pick up the book the first day it's out. Earlier if I happen to see it on a shelf in a bookstore early like some people found ToM.

4) I'm going to be taking a few days off of work specifically for the release of AMoL. I will read it straight through virtually nonstop (only breaks will be if I'm driving to grab some lunch). I did the same thing for ToM. I will then likely digest it/religiously haunt message boards for a few days before starting a more leisurely re-read.

5) At home mostly, probably on the couch or our bedroom. Exception will be if I go out to grab some lunch somewhere, in which case I'll bring the book with me and read it there as well.

6) We'll get a new Encyclopedia, but I highly doubt the "outriggers" or prequels will be written. I hope they don't because they probably won't be up to par, but if they do I will buy and read them like a good little lemming.
