I'm a lonely outpost fan. I don't know anyone in my own life who likes
Harry Potter -- I'm not even sure they ever read books. I even asked my
17-year-old nephew if he read any of them and he didn't know who Harry
Potter was {{{sigh}}}. I'm the family mutant, the person who spent the
first night of her LIFE staring around the hospital nursery looking for
something to read.

Girl, you sound like my soul mate! However, I'm not TOTALLY alone --
my aunt loves Harry Potter, and my mom likes him too. But I'm the most
fanatical in the family, although the excess of my "fandom" is joining
this club and buying the books and audiobooks, although I'll probably buy
some Harry Potter merchandise (T-shirt or coffee mug) fairly soon. And
the joke in my family is that I came out of the birth canal with a book
in my hand! :)
