I have just completed re-reading the entire Harry Potter series, and I did it in about two weeks (minus the conference). Pretty good, I think, considering I still have to go to work every day and I can't completely ignore everyone around me. I noticed a lot of things this time around that I didn't recognize before, and I was a lot less sad when I read the seventh book. I got a little choked up reading "The Prince's Tale" chapter, but that was about it. I was already anticipating everything else (the deaths, surprises, etc.). So now I'm done. I had been planning on reading these books this summer, and now I don't know what else to do! Guess I'll just have to find something else to read. I think it's going to be "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" next. I've been wanting to read that again. Any other suggestions? Anyone read anything really great lately that I shouldn't miss?
I think Eric's glad I'm done with Harry Potter, now I'll actually give him some attention during our free time.
P.S. Nobody better recommend "The Celestine Prophecy"... or my mother will have your head.

A second for J. Winspear and Mary Stewart. Oh and the Narnia Chronicles, of course. I haven't read those in forever. If you want some really easy reads and some nostalgia, I have some books from when we were kids like Mr. Revere and I and some John Bellairs books and some other stuff. Plus I have lots of nonfiction, but I'm sure you get plenty of that with school and everything. Maybe I'll think of more later... oh and you know I recommend a certain series you love to hate...
i disagree. this title is completely relevant to everything. cryptic? how about owl on books? what does this mean??!?
oh and i recommend mary stewart too. if you read her greece/crete books it'll make you want to go there. heck her one in austria made me want to be there too, even though i had previously sworn off all cold and mountainous countries! (a resolution since dissolved).
and if you want to read some depressing nonfiction, read "Nickle and Dimed: On Not getting by in America" by Barbara Ehrenreich. It's interesting, but like I said, depressing. Read Under the Tuscan Sun too if you haven't, it'll make you want to live in Italy and have a house to make pretty.
Avoid "The Awakening" by Jane Chopin or whatever her first name is, because it's very dull.
