Womack ,'The Message'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
That's 48 hours TOO LONG.
Although, I am reading quite a bit of fic. (Thank you very much!!!)
I sometimes wonder if there's something wrong with me that I'm this invested in a work of fiction where I just feel every little thing that they feel.
And then I look around at all of youse and think, "Well, if there's something wrong with me, there's something wrong with them and I'm ok with that. We're all wrong together."
I was reading GoF last night, and Minerva grabs Hermione's neck/throat, to steady herself when she's slipping on that water from Peeve's water balloons. Seemed odd.
And, I will wear that t-shirt with you, Aimee.

I just read that chapter last night too and had the same reaction.
Did you get my reccie for Midnight Confessions, Aimee? I like that one a lot for the strong Weasley family (both immediate and extended) that it had, as well as the neat idea of family magic.
I've been feeling like I'm wandering through Close Encounters...."This means something."
You know, I only read the first HP book - just didn't get engaged. But! I keep reading the posts.
Toddson, if you want to give it another shot, keep going. The first book is not the bestest ever; it mainly introduces you to the world. The third book is where most people got truly hooked, I think.
Yeah. The first book was a well-written kids book. The second was kind of eh -- set up a lot of stuff that would be important later, but not so great on its own. The third is where it starts really getting interesting, and then the fifth is where it definitely stops being just kids books.

I think the second book is underrated. When I reread it, I really appreciated it for getting so much darker than the first book, so quickly. You don't really notice it when you go through the first time, but once you see where the story ends up, you see that Rowling never intended this to be one big happy romp. There's real danger. And she's got spicy brains.
I wonder if Rowling ever sits in her castle and goes, "Yes, I *do* know how to write, thank you very much!"
A person I was talking to on LJ compared the wait to the times when people would be anxiously awaiting the release of the latest Dickens novel installment.
