Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by......you all know who it is by.

I actually wanted to read something new, but couldn't find anything at my limited choices in my near area, and with no trip out of town to go to better booksellers I just pulled this off the shelf since I'm still in a Fantasy mood.

I am on the second Pern book, Dragonquest. She does a good job of making me think I am reading about dragons when it is really about some weird ass feudal politics.

Finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, then read and finished Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and now on to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Well now I'm on Deathly Hallows. I just got to the part when I realize that all the Harry Potter books take place in the 90s. I haven't this book since it first came out, and I had forgot all about that. It's strange to think that Harry Potter and I, are the same age.

Creepy.

And the Epilogue takes place in 2016. We should all go to London and see if we can see him that day.

Where does it state the dates again?

Rama · « **Reply #219 on:** Jun 30, 2010, 12:08:20 AM »

It's when Harry visits his mom and dad's grave. (Chapter 16: Godric's Hollow. Page 328 if you have the hard back American.) It shows the day they died as Oct. 31st 1981. It was stated that Harry was only a year old when his parents died. Thus he was born in July of 1980. Harry is turning 11 when the first book starts, which makes it July 1991. Which makes sense since that is around the time she was writing the book.

Whats your next book? Twilight? hahaha it;d be funny to see you commenting on stuff like " I was really surprised when Edward decided to let Jacob blablalb"
DO IT.

Rama · « **Reply #221 on:** Jun 30, 2010, 11:41:39 AM »

No. I won't touch the twilight stuff.

I'm actually reading Han Solo At Star's End. It was one of those EU novels before those become the lifeblood of all SW nerds. (I never cared for them myself.) But since this one was published in 79, a mere two years after the movie I decided to give it a chance.

Is that one of the ones where he does stuff that seems out of character, like slave trading?

No idea. Only a chapter and half into it. So far he's smuggled some weapons to some aliens and then escaped the planet.

I'm not reading anything per se but trying to teach myself japanese. I have such a bad case of ADD, as soon as I open the book I start thinking about other stuff :-( Not only that but the only time I can study is at night and by then I'm so tired that I don't feel like doing anything else but sleep. Wtf am i going to do? btw im moving to japan so this needs to be done. Maybe some adderall? Does someone here has prescription for it?

I have all the languages, including Farsi.

No one cares about Farsi unless Iran gets the nuke.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #233 on:** Jul 02, 2010, 12:12:48 PM »

darn how did you get them all, and why¿¿

Derrick · « **Reply #234 on:** Jul 02, 2010, 12:41:35 PM »

Downloaded them illegally. I actually had the University warn me when I did they knew I downloaded them via torrent and if I continued to share they would ban me from using their internet for a year. I lied my way out of the charges and I still have the files in one of my backup harddrives.

I listen to Books on Tape.

B E C K · « **Reply #238 on:** Jul 03, 2010, 04:20:07 PM »

While driving? The last audio book I listened to was Bunnicula. It was on a cassette tape. And I was probably around eight or nine years old. I remember in the early eighties, Merla and I had those little books that came with a small record. Some of you fogier types should recall those. Those were fun.

Fiero · « **Reply #239 on:** Jul 03, 2010, 04:47:02 PM »

We had some records, but no player.
