A force greater than myself – I succumbed to the phenomenon


I had to find out what 6,000,000 people were going bananas over. On Sunday morning I strolled into a bookstore and picked up Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Sorcerer’s Stone was sold out).

So far so good. The story is entertaining, the plot moves along rather quickly…..

But what is the big deal? I still prefer Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Tolkein’s Hobbit/Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Have I dated myself?
