We started reading Harry Potter on Saturday. We have a tradition of reading them out loud together, usually Bear reads while I work on one project or another. I can’t bear the thought of buying the book twice like a rational person would, and neither of us can wait to discuss while the other person finishes, so we continue with our bizarrely old-fashioned ritual. Can’t you just see me in my rocking chair, knitting, while Bear reads to me? We just need a few doilies spread about and a gramophone in the corner to make our geriatric conversion complete. Our problem is that we’re also in the middle of a summer long 24 marathon. Somehow us TV fanatics *completely* missed the boat on that one, and we’ve been obsessed with it ever since we saw the first episode.
We just finished season 4, and it ended in such a way that we had to immediately begin season 5, which we happened to have on hand thanks to the glories of Blockbuster online.
So we keep going back and forth, Harry Potter? or Jack Bauer? We’ll watch an hour of 24, and then read a chapter, and then watch an hour, and then read a chapter. But then the show got really good, and we couldn’t wait any longer.
I’m trying to stay away from most of the internet so I don’t find anything out, but at this rate, I might be avoiding things for weeks.
That is a hard call for sure. I am a huge HP fan. I am also a 24 addict. I honestly don't know what I would do if I had to choose between the two. Season 5 is excellent. But so is HP. I hope you enjoy them both.
i love jack, but i LOOOOOOVE harry, and book 7 is a masterpiece! finish that first- then you can come over to my blog & discuss it! 🙂
