I know I am probably going to get some reallly immature responses to this question but I have to ask anyway.
Are there othere Harry Potter fans out there who are over thirty? I am a great fan of the book series, not so much the movies and definatly not the hype but the books are great. They just capture the imagination and take me into a world that I wish really existed.

Also Since J.K. Rowling says she is done with HP would you read a book about HP as an adult written by a different author?

It's quite a shocking book, that's why it is sealed in the shops... but what is your opinion of it? Does it work?

He reads on 4th grade level, or books that say ages 8-12. He is not a Harry Potter fan. We are trying to get him "hooked" on something. Right now he just wanders around the library picking out nonfiction books on science. I homeschool him and we need some good fiction to read for the fall/winter.

I have about 300 1990's romance books. They are all in very good shape. I tried selling them at a garage sale for 5 cents a piece and no buyers which floored me. i tried taking them to the local book trader and she wouldn't take them - even when i said i would just donate them. The library wouldn't accept the donation. Even the womans shelter wouldn't take them. They are much too good to throw away. What else can I do?

For those who have read all of the books, start to finish... how did you like the series? Are you happy with the way that they ended? What would you have done to change anything if you could?

On pages196-197, at the bottom where it begins to talk about Mark Miller, why does it say that he is David's guitar instructor...when Paul is the one playing guitar? Maybe I am just stupid, but reply back and tell me what you think. Thanks

So I was bored at the library today so I picked up a book of poetry. None of them rhymed. The author was talking about the poems as if they were the best ever made... I've always known poems don't technically have to rhyme but I had no idea that non-rhymers were so popular. I mean common! if it doesn't rhyme its just a paragraph! wheres the art in that?

Also on a side note I couldn't figure out how to read these "poems". You see It seemed as If I was supposed to read it as normal sentences, pausing only at the periods and commas. But then why are the sentences broken up into lines? Should I pause at the end of the line too?

Ugh. Non-rhymers suck!
