The HP withdrawl

Summer reading programs have kept me quite busy this summer, as I suppose they are meant to do (both the kids and the librarians).
As many people did, I'm sure, I completed the Great Harry Potter Re-Read. Went back to the beginning and experienced it all again. Which was pretty interesting. I enjoyed doing it, though admittedly got bogged down in Book 5. Had to wait a whole three days before I could read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It was fantastic.
Read Diary of a Wimpy Kid this afternoon, which wasn't too bad; about a sixth grader, an awkward sixth grader, and his year being not so popular and kind of a dork. But I liked it. A nice brief read.
I began Thursday Next: First Among Sequels by Jasper Fforde a few days before HP7 was released and haven't gotten through it yet. After my marathon reading of HP7 it's been a bit difficult to read at all this week. I think it's the after-effects of no more Harry Potter. Hopefully I'll be able to read again in the next few days.
That's my lame update for today. Will try and post again before the end of the summer. (We'll see, though.)
