I should admit that I'm reading the Harry Potter books again from the beginning, as I threatened I might, a few days ago. I started number three last night, and am having a great time going over the old stuff. I can't believe it's really six years since I read this one! It's good to go back in part because one gets to remember hints about the later part of the story. Piece together all the parts of the jigsaw. And of course it's a good way to get more Harry while waiting for the next one to come out, and the film of number four at Christmas. I saw a preview the other day and it looks good, even if Ron does have weird hippy hair.
I've also been reading a fair bit of health related non fiction. I picked up Patricia Cornwell's latest paperback, Trace, when someone gave it to me for free. I read the first paragraph and threw the book to the floor. Ugh. I just can't stomach the terrible writing anymore.
I've saving the more recent Ayelet Waldman mysteries for the plane journey and my holiday in the UK next month. I think I have three to catch up with and one of them is still in hardback, but that's fine. I know of two other people I can share it with after I get to enjoy it!
