Addiction report

[Amy Z]

Master, I have two addictions-in-progress to report, and a third that is, I 
hope, underway.

1. My friend B. read the first book when she was a 6th-grade teacher, but 
amazingly didn't read on.  After we talked about the books a bit, she bought 
CS and PA and read them in the space of a week.  I have since lent her GF.  
The best evidence, though:  she bought the Vanity Fair just to look at the 
pictures.  (Even more exciting, she assuaged her guilt by then giving it to 
me!)

2. I gave my friend J. SS for her birthday this summer, sweetening the deal 
with an inscription telling her that chapter 6 reminded me of our meeting 
(we met 21 years ago--we know the exact day--and have been the closest of 
friends ever since.  Unfortunately for us, we didn't meet on a magical train 
but in our very unmagical junior high . . . but I digress.  Oh yeah, this is 
OT, there's no such thing as digression! <g>).  At first she only read a few 
pages a night (how do people DO that?) but soon motored through all four 
books.

Bwahahahahaha!

3. Don't cut my hand off, Master, but progress is a bit slower on the home 
front.  Dh, who knows he has only ten days to go, has still not read PS, but 
he did ask me to put it on his nighttable so that he remembers to read it.  
I will hold my bwahahahahaha for when he has finished it and grabbed CoS off 
the shelf.
