A brief break back in the Muggle world. I hope everyone who has the pleasure to be swept up in this Potter stuff is appreciating the fun of it. I'm loving this. It's like being at a worldwide party. I love being on the subway and seeing the woman next to me holding the same heavy book, opened to the same chapter. I love stepping out of my office and bumping into a man clutching the same book to his chest that I'm clutching to mine. I loved coming home last night and knowing that Gina was upstairs in her bed, and Cheryl downstairs in hers, and me on mine, and that we were all having the same adventures together.

Reading is such a solitary thing. You feel like these things are all yours, privately yours. This is a rare experience, to be caught up in the same feeling of - hey, old friend! - communitas - with so many other people.

I like rare experiences and I try to recognize and appreciate them whenever possible.

Now back to my - our - book. I'm almost at the end now, I don't want to rush, I want it to last forever, but I can't seem to stop for more than a minute.

(I know I owe KITH pics/stories, and I will have them when I'm done with this Volde-- You-Know-Who business.)
