Last night I finished reading Harry Potter.
I read the whole 7 books again, I think it was the third time.
It's sad, I know, a lot of Harry Potter fan agree with me, It let you drift the a whole new world for a few minutes/hours a day, and live in a magic world.
I noticed that it took me longer to read the last book, I just didn't want it to end again.
So now I decided to take a brake, i know it hard, but there are more thing out there than Harry Potter (please don't shout at me :) )
I have to many new books i bought and I didn't have the time to read, so i will ketch up with my reading, and after I'll finish these books, I'll go back and read some other favorite books, by J.R.R Tolkien, the Hobit and the Lord of the Rings, it's been to long since I read them.
And than I'll read Harry Potter again, I know that I'll see things in different perspective. 3 time, I read the whole 7 books 3 time, and each time was different, and much more enjoyable.
I guess than now, after i am done with my "obsession", I can have time for more things, other than books, like doing jigsaws and Japanese logic puzzles, which i neglected for a while, as you probably know i am a conceptis puzzles pixie (this word is also from the magic world/Harry Potter world) and there is a lot of work in this area too.
today I started to read a new book, in Hebrew for a change, and it called 'the jewish dog" by Asher Kravitz, and it is being told from the point of view of a white dog with a black spot a round his eye, living with a jewish family.
Well this is my day off, so i am going to read some more, do a puzzle or too, and than walk the dogs, my too sweet hyperactive dogs.
Have a nice day.

I used to try explaining people why when a movie is a real masterpiece I have no problem watching it any number of times. every sequence can always tell a new story and I never get bored. I guess that pretty much similar to what you are experiencing with the Potter books. I wonder if you feel the same:
ReplyDeleteIs your experience new in some way every time or would you say it's more like having the same favorite experience again and again?
My experience is new every time I am rereading a book or see a movie, I gave the Harry potter books a rest now, and I am reading a new book now and "The Hobbit" again, and still discovering new worlds all the time
