Now hear this

I've made a major life decision. I will now read My Friend Leonard before reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Why? Cuz I feel like it, that's why. And, because I am suffering withdrawal after reading A Million Little Pieces. (How ironic.)

Good for you! I think My Friend Leonard looks better.

All due respect to all the Harry Potter fans out there, but I'm just not into him :)

I was totally into Harry, but I've lost my craving for him after the last book. When I read the Harry's I keep thinking of how JKR might possibly be stealing plots from other books/movies. For example, in reading the last chapter of the Half-Blood Prince, it "felt" like the story line in the Lord of the Rings II movie. I dunno. I feel bad, I was such a Harry fan, but now I'm feeling like I need to read more grown-up books in my old age...

Yes, I think JKR totally poaches stories and plots! My husband is a big fan, and he was telling me about things in her books, and a lot of them sounded like they were lifted from Arthurian legend and mythology.
