Well, damn it, I was forced into reading the next Harry Potter book. My girlfriend pretty much shoved it into my hands and said, "Read!" She's getting her PhD in comparative literature, so normally her book suggestions are slightly less mainstream, but Harry Potter appears to be a unifying force for pleasure in the literary world. I must admit, the book was good, and about a million times better than the snoozer that was number 5.
Anyway, since I'm apparently the last person in the world to have read this book, I'm not going to discuss it. Instead I'll talk about the fact that I've linked not to the amazon.com copy, but to the amazon.co.uk "Adult Edition" of the book. By "Adult Edition" I don't mean the pornographic version, I mean that in England there is one printing with a cartoonish cover for the kids and one with a classy cover for the adults. My girlfriend prefers those nice, classy covers. I too enjoyed the adult edition cover because I was able to read the book on a plane without everyone knowing I was reading Harry Potter. But since 75% of the plane was also reading Harry Potter I guess I should just get over it and admit that I like the teenage wizard.
Darn, I thought you were going to end the post with,"...that I am a teenage wizard."That woulda been funny. I read it that way first but then saw it wasn't so and I unlaughed.
