Harry Potter Hang Over

I'm bereft. I finished the last Harry Potter book this afternoon. I had tried to read it sparingly, so I wasn't done with it too quickly, but I still finished it. And now I don't know what to read. A house full of books, and nothing appeals to me.

I'm not going into spoilers because there's bound to be someone out there who hasn't read it yet but wants to.

I feel like I do when I get to the end of a Buffy DVD marathon: "Time to go back to the beginning." But I know the ending will come all over again. You see, I'm coming off books five and six, so 1100+ pages of Potter and friends in ten days.

What to do, what to do....

I'm reading Paul Harry Potter everynight. We have been drawing it out by reading only a chapter or two a night. It's painful putting it down though. It's taken real discipline to not just plow through it.

And I hear you on the Buffy marathon. I want to restart it already and I just finish watching the entire series not too long ago. Buffy had a real impact on me - and I love reminding myself of those lessons.

It's amazing how lost we can feel when we complete a powerful story.
