It seems that everyone in town has already read the new Harry Potter book. Not that it isn’t something that can’t be finished in a day, in fact, I read the first three sitting idly with a bashed-up kneecap and nothing else better to do. However, I am still working on book 5 and have been since the day that it came out. Everytime I am in the middle of the book, I see another book that looks just as interesting or even more interesting and starting reading it, too. I get frustrated at my pace of reading the books and the lack of plot revelations, then give up on both. Why do I do this? Because it is a right afforded to me as a citizen of the United States. That, and I own more books than the local branch of the public library, and every single one of them is tempting (even A.T. Mahan’s book concerning the influence of naval power upon history). With the advent of the DVD and its extras that nobody watches, tivo, and violent video games like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, I don’t really see how anyone gets anything done. Sure you can cop out and become a Buddhist monk or finish a graduate degree, but really, who wants to do all that? These are trying times, and I guess I am not trying hard enough. Now back to see whether or not Harry Potter becomes a scientologist and his friend Ron Weasel knocks up his friend Harmony.
