Why did we start reading the books?

WOW!  2 posts in less than an hour!  As I've been reading the thread 
about where the HP books should be placed, I've noticed many people 
including why they stared reading the books.  I personally started 
reading them because I thought that before I recommended these books 
to parents as something for their child to read, that I should read 
them myself and know what I'm recommending.  I ended up reading the 
first PS/SS, CoS, and PoA between Friday night and Sunday morning.

So, I'm just curious as to how/why/how long other people read the 
series.  Does anyone have any really cool story?  I know mine is not, 
I just happen to love books and got hooked.
