Harry potter?

Question:

Harry potter?

are there any other adults out there that brought the first book for there child and ended up getting hooked.. and waiting for the last book to come out

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: guilty. i buoght the books for my son, thinking they would get him to read for a change... they sat in his room collecting dust for a couple of years, until finally, at the suggestion of my best friend who loves them, encouraged me to read them.

i am an avid reader, read TONS of books, have a master's degree. yet i had never read a fantasy book of any kind, prior to reading Harry Potter. i read the first 2 books in a couple of days... then onto the 3rd, then bought the remaining ones for MYSELF. they are now in MY bookshelf, not my son's.

i find them refreshing. an escape from my everyday serious life. i'll buy the new one when it comes out... now, i won't stand in line at midnight or anything... but i'll have it within the first week.
