books.

I love to read. Books have always been my way to escape and delve into worlds that I've always dreamed about. I read a lot while I was growing up and it has always just stuck with me. During college I carried a book with me at all times. My roommates all thought I was crazy because when I wasn't doing homework they could find me in a book. 


Harry Potter has always always always been one of my favorites. I have read it countless times and it still holds my attention when I come back to it. 


I started the series over again about three weeks ago and I am half-way through the last book: The Deathly Hallows. I didn't used to like this one as much as the others because it felt like it was dripping with teen angst, because heaven knows I had enough of that in my own life. But as I've learned more about the series all new information pops out at me about what is happening. It's more a coming of age story than anything. Harry has to come to terms with his fate and figure out who he is with regard to the war that is raging around him. 


I could talk Harry Potter philosophy for days. I could teach a class on Harry Potter philosophy. But for now I'm just going to finish reading the series and enjoy my internal monologue of Harry Pottsr philosophy.
