Some of you may remember that I sell books for a living; well, as you may imagine, I've been quite busy with Harry Potter- midnight opening, asleep at 2:15am, rising at 5:30am to open the store at 7:00am. About 7:15 a young fellow, early 20's, came in just off night shift at corner gas station. He asked for his Harry Potter & when I handed it to him he told me that a few years ago he was basically illiterate & learned to read properly because of the series & now was reading everything he could get his hands on.
Some days reward you more than others; I am still choked up.

Sometimes I think Harry Potter books are like water aerobics classes. Perhaps they arn't the most strenuous thing out there, but if it gets people to read / exercise, then more power to them!
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to return to my copy....on page 164.
