Distracted

[Sarah Glaubman]

I'm writing this post because I can't concentrate on my work because all I can think about is Harry Potter. I had listened to books 1-6 as audio books a year and a half ago, when because of an illness I was having trouble reading books in print. Now I've been rereading some of them in print, which is even better. I was awake all night last night reading one (I had tried to go to sleep, but couldn't, so picked up the book again). I slept a little in the morning. Now I can't seem to work, partly because I'm sleep deprived, and partly because, although I have
some interest in my work, it is Deathly Boring compared with reading Harry Potter.

I feel as if now I know how it would feel to be addicted to drugs or something. I always thought it was good to get into good books--do I need to face the fact that this is actually a problem?

Well, this is sort of tongue-in-cheek, but not completely.
