re: Never read Harry Potter books

I read the first one in 7th grade because it was assigned. I remember liking it, but never moved to the next one for whatever reason. Then, about 8 or so years later, I'm bored living at home during summer break in college. I decided to reread Sorcerer's Stone after watching the movie. I finished it in 2 days and was instantly hooked. I finished all seven books that summer. The next summer I started ASOIAF. After reading those books two times through, I still have not found a book series that hooks me like the those two did back in college/early adulthood.
