Bookin’ It

July 18th, 2005

I just closed the book on the 650-odd pages of Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince. My enthusiasm for this cultural phenomenon has decreased considerably since I did the last book in 12 hours. This one I took two days on, but I saw three movies and went to work in that time too.

I waited to finish Harpo Speaks before I started it. I think I liked it more. Maybe if Harry Potter spent more time on the touring Vaudeville circuit and hanging out with Alexander Woolcott he’d win me over.
