Why did we start reading the books?

Hello All,

I've been thinking for a while about this question...Why DID I start 
reading HP?

At first, I viewed all the hype with cinisim. I dind't want to read 
them, they coulnd't possibly be that good.  Just one more thing to get 
parents to buy children, blah blah blah. 

I remember buying an Ottawa Citizen (my photo was in the paper so I 
wanted a copy) and there was this four page article about Harry 
Potter. I read every word. I remember being mesmorized by the pictures 
of the book covers, thinking, well maybe it's not all bad. I still 
didn't buy them.

About two weeks after that, one of my friends gave me a gift 
certificate to Chapters. She didn't read much, and thought I could use 
the GC. So, off to Chapters I went.

I remember there was this HUGE display for the first book, and there 
was this group of Vietnamese (sp?) tourists standing in front of the 
display shouting: "Look! Harry Potter!" and it got me to thinking.  
Wow, I thought, it's must be making reading fun!

I saw parents and children looking at them and reading them. I saw 
older people reading them to grandchildren. I saw adults reading it to 
themselves. I love reading and encourage it everywhere I go. So, I 
picked up the paperback copy of HP and the PS. 

My world has never been the same since.

Hugs
