More Potter Putter
July 19, 2007

I've read all the Potter books so far, I'm almost ashamed to admit.  One summer in college I had this weird job where I basically had to around all day and do nothing.  Instead of doing nothing, I read Harry Potters 1-4 in three weeks.  After that I was hooked and read 4 and 5 when they came out, and also saw all the movies in the theater.  

When a Potter book comes along, I'm helpless against it, as, it seems, and has long seemed, are most people.  I put down whatever fancy literary book I happen to be reading, shelve all my interpersonal relationships, and bury my nose in the fresh paper smell of Hogwarts.

Everybody is making a big deal over the Potter embargo, the leaks, getting the book two days early.  I for one do not want to get my hands on the book a minute before I have to (which will be saturday)--when I get that damn book, I'll have to cancel my entire life until it's done, and, frankly, I just don't have time to do that.  

Doesn't anyone else feel a bit colonized by these awfully wonderful books?
