Musings of a 'muggle' d mind

While the entire world has gotten over Potter mania and the subsequent lack of it,I am a late and hesistant beginner.Everybody who has read the book,recommend it vehemently.Juvenile.Fanatics.

From my past history,I had a preset notion that I would not be able to get too far with this book.I just cannot sit through animated movies and my appetite for comic strips and the witches and the gnomes is alarmingly low.I can never ever watch Superman,Spiderman or the Matrix s of the world to save my life.I understand Calvin and Hobbes with high level of difficulty.Men flying around defying gravity just about elicits a yawn.Maybe they have some scientific way to attribute this to brain mapping or something more complicated.I bet they have a term for it.

I did think Shrek was quite cute though.But I do recollect being in a pink mood and demanding a romantic candy-floss movie and Shrek was what my roomie had to offer.Perspective.

I had given reading a big break over the years,once the college humdrum was a thing of the past and the corporate life took over.

Suddenly I had time on hand.It was time to go back to my books.I drew up a list.In fact I drew a list of all things I wanted to do before I die.I have this weird side to me.I attribute it to being 25.I can scare myself by just saying out the number aloud.

I wanted to know what the fuss around Harry Potter was all about.It induced mass hysteria.And I still do not know if Mr.Potter eventually died.

I have not progressed beyond the first 50 in pages the last 2 months.Infact I had even forgotten about it until I chanced upon it again this morning.I am stumped.There must be an explanation.Guess I fall woefully short in the imagination front.Well,not really.

When I look back I do think my choice of books and the ones I have thoroughly enjoyed fall in a definite pattern.I like real people,real emotions.Drama.

I intend to give myself another chance with Harry Potter though.Here goes.

PS:I have already misplaced it,and it does not particularly upset me.
