These seem to be the only books lately that I have been able to read and stay interested.

I've never been an "avid" reader because I read slow and my eyes go blurry with fatigue. I swear I've read "Harry Potter" until I couldn't focus on anything and STILL wanted to continue.

I must admit that I'm only half way through the "Half-Blood Prince" and haven't picked it up since on vacation in October. I don't know what my problem is with this. I always seem to have something else to do.

"Harry Potter" brought back and reopened the doors to reading for fun. Normally I felt I had to read business books to get something in exchange for my time.

I hope your love of a good book comes back.
I've been reading Half-Blood Prince, and I also have it on audio cd. Havent made it thru very far, been too busy to listen to it, and the book is kind of heavy. But, I've been enjoying it a lot anyways.

Kind of sad that JK Rowling didnt do more than seven books. I havent had a book series catch my attention like that since I read the Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators series when I was little.

Some JK Rowling trivia...did you know that her mother had MS??
