Books

So Friday afternoon I got Harry Potter V (that's the Order of the Phoenix) and by very early Saturday morning (ie about 15 hours later, 10 or so spent reading) I had finished it. Gotta say it dragged a little in parts, Rowling really likes to have inter-group conflict which is something I am not a real big fan of (I don't mind some but it's happened in every book now!) so that made it a slow starter for me. However that's just my personal preference in reading, the end was good although the final wrap up and return home seemed a little rushed, it didn't feel like some of the things usually all tied up at the end of the other books. Not the war, I knew that would continue but some of the plot that really only revolves at the school. That said, the 6th book should be pretty darn good.

What have I become, enjoying Harry Potter books?

Don't tell anyone but I picked up two more D & D books the Monster Manual, 3.5 sadly-ugh!-, and Underdark which is another Forgotten Realms book. Woulda taken Monsters of Faerun if they had it at B & N too but they don't anymore. It's ok tho, less for me to spend/waste money on. It probably is a waste in the end, I don't know tho. I can imagine a lot of things but I usually am not good at the details I can throw stuff already created into a world.

Got my haircut Friday too. Wheee. And I've got work this week too so I'll have people to talk to, etc. Kinda been lonely here up to now. People too busy to hang with an old sod like me. Anyhow, think I am out for the night, gonna read my new books and try to get up earlier then normal today.
