I've waited so long to finish Harry Potter, and right now I really just don't care. Everyone keeps talking about it, I've got people threatening to defriend if spoilers are posted w/out cut...and I can only feel the same dread for the book that I do for most of Stephen Kings, in that Rowling has a taste for killing characters, and I know the body count is going to be high....and I would like something fluffy or fun, not depressing.

Ah, well.

My dad is mailng it to me, so I probably wont' read it for awhile, as I told him just to send it whenever.

I really want to read something, but nothing appeals >_o At this point, I'd probably just have to write it first, and that sort of kills the reading to relax, doesn't it? Boo hiss.

I have to agree about HP. I honestly never would have read past the fourth book if they weren't so famous. Imho they're decent books just not... nearly as good as the hype makes them out to be. I read so much I would have forgotten about them within a year of finishing the ones already released without the fame thing factoring in.

Hmm, I have no good book recommendations off the top of my head if you're going for light and fluffy. Deep and intellectual, yes. Tragically depressing, yes. Fluff? no.

As a faithfully adoring reader of yours I feel somewhat sad I cannot think of something you might want to read.
