Because I'm still avoiding my article which is due tomorrow. but it's short. and it's news. So it won't take long.
Firstly- Harry Potter.
Wow. Wowwy wow wow wow. So yesterday (AND TODAY. I LOVE THAT. I JUST TURN ON THE TV AND BOOM! HARRY POTTER!!) was part of ABC Family's Harry Potter weekend. Which has me thinking about the series which I loved, still love, and will continue to love for years to come.
There has never been another series which I have invested so much time and love into. (Nerdy, I know. Bug off.) And I was thinking about something, and I couldn't figure out if I would really want to do this.
I was thinking: How cool would it be, to be able to erase the plot of a book from your head, and then be able to reread it, as if for the first time. But the drawback I found was that you would lose the things you had first noticed when you read it for the actual first time. I guess if I was magically able to do that, I could put it back.
But really, just sit there and think about it. You could be happy with a library of three books for the rest of your life! (Not that I would EVER just read three books. I'm guessing I'm pushing the 1,500 mark, not counting the little kid 'learn to read' books.)
"We'd recommend... This one." What movie/book is that line from? Oooooh, trickyyyyy.
But wouldn't that be cool? I would love to reread the series, just to get a fresh perspective on it again.
Sigh, one can only wish.
Read anything good lately? I'm still working on The Wheel of Time. It's excellent.

I, personally, like rereading books. I don't know how it is to reread something like the HP series, but I've reread the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series [I'm not sure if I should be embarrassed about that or not. I mean I AM a teenage girl, after all.] I like rereading books because the more times you read it, the more you understand it. Sometimes it loses it's like bam-factor, like a line that hit you the first time you read it doesn't quite do it for you the third time. I don't know. There are some books I just wont reread because they're too good & I already know what happens in the end. But there are other books like um. I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak, that I could just read over & over & be satisfied.
Your idea is a good one, though. It's like the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, only without the romance!
I am currently reading Jane Eyre, which I picked out for school, & it is kind of depressing but I'm into it. & recently I got halfway through Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close & it was really really good [the half I read] but I didn't want to ruin it before I bought it, so I just stopped in the middle & bought it. I'll start reading that again when I get a chance. I don't know if you'd be into that. Then on my reading list is also An Egg on Three Sticks recommended by a friend, & Better Than Running at Night, also recommended by a friend. Luan & I [the guy who reads my blog] are going to do this thing where we recommend a book we haven't read to each other through e-mail. It'll be interesting because we probably have pretty different taste in books. Hey! Here's a long comment!
I'm sorry you have to practically read a novel to get to this part of the comment, the end.
Hope your article goes well. (:
I love your comments (:
