One of my resolutions for 2009 was to read a Harry Potter book. Murder and mystery are more my style than Muggles and magic. But at Tony's recommendation I thought I'd give the series a whirl. I'm into chapter three of the first book and, so far, have found no reason to not continue. I wonder if J.K. Rowling knew how right she was when, in the first chapter, one of her characters said "He'll be famous - a legend ...every child in our world will know his name!" Even my 85 year old mother knows of Harry Potter, for Pete's sake!
The library had a soft cover edition of the first book but the rest of them are hard cover and just huge! If I continue the series that's worrisome to me because I always read before I go to sleep and sometimes the book falls in my face. It's not so bad with a magazine...then I just wake up with ink on my nose. But having a book that size drop on my face could have more dire consequences!
