I am just trying to get it down so I don't forget. Which happens a lot. My non-virtual journal entries tend to devolve into lists of things to do that never get done. This place is filling up fast with brainfarts. Here, take this clothespin.
If Google brought you here, I'm sorry. You are unlikely to find what you were searching for. But there's plenty to see if you care to browse around.

not enough pages for greedy eyes
Read the most recent Harry Potter. As with the other 5 books, I am left suffering from a desperate need to know what happens next.
Oh yeah. Time to start rereading the others. I've done it forwards and backwards, so this time I think I'll do it totally at random.
Also, I highly recommend the incredibly long book Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. It's a bit trashy, but I already love the hero nearly as much as I love Dumbledore. In a different way.
You're not the only one, although I'm not sure interesting is the word I would choose.
I cherished the character of Snape as a life lesson to my children and a reminder to myself--just because you don't get along with someone (eg a teacher) that doesn't mean he is a bad person. It was especially helpful when we got a glimpse of the past that helped make Snape who he is. *SPOILER AHEAD*
But now, if he is in fact a bad guy after all (I still cling to the idea that there must be some explanation) ...
I was sunk into a serious depression upon finishing Harry Potter. I can't handle all the chaos, unhappy relationship stuff (G + HP), and death of really significant people. Now, my sister mentioned that some people predict that Harry's going to die in the last book. I may need to forgo reading that or start taking medication first. ;) *tells self: "It's only a book..."*
MomV: See, that's the thing. I was surprised to find that I cling to the same idea.
BBFK: At the end of the last book I thought HP was gonna die but now I'm not so sure. I wonder if JKR is going to stick to her 7 books and only 7 books thing.

I'm sure that I am the only one, but as this tale unfolds I find the character of Severus Snape quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteRereading the series sounds like a great way to while the hours away especially if you have a hammock.
Thanks for the recommendation!
