Just finished Harry Potter book 2 this evening (I bought the rest of the currently-published books from Barnes & Noble a couple weeks ago). It took me five days to read it, which for me is pretty quick considering I mostly just read it on the train ride to and from work (if I wasn't napping). Anyway, I've caught the Harry Potter bug, it seems. The storyline moves quickly and the writing style is uncluttered which makes it easy to stay interested. Also, there's a main character named "Ron" which is always a plus. ;)
