I finished "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" by J.K. Rowling yesterday. It was really good. A nice, quick read. It's hard to comment too much on it, as I've seen the movies. I couldn't let my imagination get away from me too much, as I already have an idea what the characters look like. There were quite a few things that I forgot and got to a imagine though. I started the second one and am enjoying it now that I finished the first 2 chapters. This one started out very kid-like. Where she has these parenthetical notes that were bugging me. I think she's finally doing away with them and getting into the story. I can't wait to get to the 4th and 5th ones, where the movies leave off so that I can have way more fun imagining everything. I truly cannot remember the movie for the one I'm reading now, so that's good I suppose. Ia am kinda itching for more characters though and am hoping that I get a glimpse of a few more. Her writing style is good. I do realize that these books are geared more to children, which I think I need to keep in mind more.
Went to my martial arts class last night, back from vacation. That odd guy is still going strong about coming almost daily. I find him very aggravating. It's the personal space that still bothers me. When we're doing our stretches & warm-ups, he somehow inches closer and closer into my area. I hate it. Now, you have to remember that he's really tall & lanky, so sometimes I think he just doesn't realize how much space he needs. But I have to keep moving more and more away. It's super annoying. That's my gripe for today.
More to come on Harry Potter!
