*Becoming*?!

Well done, Agent #37.  Your mission has been extremely successful.
The Overlord will reward you handsomely.

I wonder, if a count were taken, how many people have been influenced by
others on this list to read HP? Too bad there isn't a way to figure it out.
It has got to be some kind of reading pyramid type thing.

My Dutch friend has tried to get everyone in our chatroom to read HP from
book one... finally, as she chatted incessantly about waiting for book three
... I made the decision to see what all her fuss was about when I noticed
the low price of the SS paperback.

Now, we both have loaned our copies ... and I have sent two copies to
die-hard-will-not-reads ... one of whom has started the book, even though he
states that he really should finish Dune first.. but the fact is that he is
reading it.

On the average, 1,000+ people, influencing at least 3 other people (I am
sure this number is low) ... makes for some interesting numbers.

Do you get the feeling that anyone who is not reading/has not read HP is
starting to feel very much left out? Has this ever happened with any other
book? (I know it has with certain television shows and movies, but I dont
recall any other book causing quite the craze that HP has)
