Potter!

Okay, so I've been bitten by the Harry Potter bug.

Not too long ago, I read <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0590353403/fantasistnet">Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone</a> and, now I'm finishing up <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0439064872/fantasistnet">Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets</a>. Next, of course, I'll be reading <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0439136369/fantasistnet">Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban</a>, then <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0439139600/fantasistnet">Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire</a>, followed quickly by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/043935806X/fantasistnet">Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix</a>. That is, if my wife and daughter are done with it! I hate to admit it, but they really got me hooked on this stuff. It's not hard reading, or even very challenging, but it <i>is</i> fun and nice, light Summer reading. And, while <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ryumaou.com/hoffman/netgeek/archives/2003_06.html#000187">I'm studying for my CNE Update test</a>, it's a nice diversion.
I think my daughter is getting a little <i>too</i> into the latest book, though. Sunday afternoon, she caught our dog doing something naughty and yelled "Potter!" in a very Snape-like voice. The poor dog, who's named "Hilda", didn't quite know what to do. Especially when we all were suddenly caught up in a fit of laughter. Ah, well, they're good family fun!
