now i wait for 3 more years

i finished harry potter. i read nearly 200 pages at work yesterday (i should have known i wouldn't be able to resist it if i brought it in) and then the last 200 pages at home. i don't plan on spoiling it for any of you who are in the midst of reading it, so i won't say much. just this - i'm sad. of course because, as we all know, someone dies, and their death made me sad. but mostly i'm sad because it is over. as juliebutt said, it's like a friend has moved away.
hey, look, i'm an only child, there's nothing wrong with having books as friends.

I'm a little envious, though I saw it coming. But I recognize that you may be a little envious of me, since I have more left to savor ;)
Yesterday at work, it was all I could think about - getting home to read it. But then there were friends to spend time with and dinner to eat, and mmm, dessert.... So I read a little before sleeping, and a little after sleeping, and now I'm back where I was yesterday - wishing I could stay home and read.

Savoring never works very well for me... I was done before I went to bed on Saturday. Helps of course that right now I have no life :) Just like when I read the first three... oh memories.
