I finally bought it. . .

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince -- yep, you heard right.  And I like it!  In fact, I'm over 100 pages into the book and can't wait to pick it up again tonight.

How could I not?  I grew up on The Chronicles of Narnia and Tolkien.  (My dad read The Hobbit to me when I was just a youngster!) 

Now I'm off to play memory with Maddie.  No knitting or spinning to report today.

Ooooo... You're going to love it!

After my Hubby found out I had never read Chronicles of Narnia he dug out his box set and put me to work. I'm halfway through the third big now, and have to say I am really enjoying them!

Glad you got HP6. I've got some good theories but I'll wait to share :)

Yep, you really do have to read HP6--glad you are!

Right there with ya! We have all the HP, in hardback. I also grew up and as an adult read all the science fiction and fantasy I could get my hands on. Still love the classics the bast, LOTR, Dune, Anne McCaffrey, etc. Although haven't picked in HP6 yet. Maybe for this upcoming holiday weekend perchance?

I picked up HP6 from the library the morning it came out (one of the advantages of requesting it back in January - I was 2nd on the list.) That was Saturday about 10:30 and I finished it Sunday evening {g}.. I'm an Ann McCaffrey fan too, but I grew up on Robert Heinlein's books. There are so many great sci-fi & fantasy authors out there. The library is even starting to get those type books in the large print editions now that the Boomers are wearing bi-focals - a trend to be encouraged.

For many years I read the Narnia books yearly, either in the series sequence or by Narnian chronology. Then I got to read them to my kids. And the books have to be the ones with the Pauline Baines illustrations. It's been a long time- I think I'll look for them on tape.

So, how's Harry? I got it the first day it came out. Now DH is reading it.

We also just finished "hearing" (on our iPods) The Chronicles of Narnia. I guess you are never too old to discover these lands.
