(no subject)
When people ask me how I've been, I say that I've been reading a lot of Harry Potter lately. After seeing the trailer for the 7th movies (squee!) I realized hat I couldn't remember very much besides who I liked to slash with each other and that the big D died (to put it bluntly).
Thus began my search for HP books in Korea. Between my middle school, the high school and the public library, I have the entire collection. Within a week I had consumed the first three years at Hogwarts. There are times when I hate Harry~ that he seems so self absorbed, and that much of Snapes complaints about him are (somewhat) true. There are a few things that I didn't catch when I first read them many years ago, and a handful of 'errors' or inconsistencies within the story. eeeer those I can just let pass..because it's just as amazing. When I first read a HP book I was in 6th or 7th grade, and Harry was just about my age. Who didn't dream of going to Howgarts (instead of RASGHA) and dueling, having a pet owl, sitting under the bewitched ceiling of the great hall and eating chocolate frogs?
On my desk now is Goblet of Fire, which I scooped out from the high school library as soon as I got in this morning. The book is freaking HUGE. I can't wait till I have a moment of free time, to crack it open.
What are your favorite YA books - or what did you read in middle school that you like to go back and read again?
ALSOALSO, my friend Ami came to Korea to visit! But she's a much better ljer than me, so I'm sure she'll make a better post about it than I could ;p In sum, We ate a lot of food together and played Mario. Bliss! Ami, come back soon! ^o^
