Reading 'The Charioteer' by Mary Renault - one of several books I got with my b-day book gift card. Next up will be...'The Group' by Mary McCarthy.

Also re-reading the Harry Potter series, and realized i'm missing two of the books. Sheesh.

How's the reread of HP going? Does it stand up?

I would say yes? I do skip over some parts, like all the villain-monologuing scenes. And Dumbledor is more sympathetic (though still annoying).

The rest is fine, it seems. Even more infuriating, really, in terms of adults being stupidly oblivious/overly protective in really dumb ways.

DA, but which parts hold up well? So far I'm getting that you're skipping over about a third of it, find one of the main characters annoying and are infuriated by how stupid all the adults are. That sounds like a thumbs down to me.

A third? I don't think so. It's mostly a few pages here or there when we have Voldemort blah blahing at someone; something I tend to skip in most books or movies the second time around, because it's always so frigging boring.

I was infuriated by the adults the first time around, too - who wasn't? I'm still enjoying it, so it's really a YMMV kind of thing.
