re: Never read Harry Potter books

I love how the books become more mature as the characters age.

When I first started dating the girl I would eventually marry, she asked me to read the first book. She knew I was an avid reader, but I really wasn't interested in what I saw as a kids book. But, wanting to impress her, I told her to let me borrow it.

I finished the first book in two days. I asked her for the next one. Finished it in 4 days. I asked for the 3rd book, finished it in a week and a half.

When I asked for the 4th book, finding out that it wasn't out yet depressed me. I still re-read the whole series every couple of years.
