Harry Potter: Why I read.
Before I was in graduate school, I could probably count all of the books I had ever read up to that point on one hand. Pretty sad, huh? Finally, my wife convinced me to read the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I just never enjoyed reading. I'm more of a tv and movie guy, a product of the MTV era (back when they actually showed videos). Anyway, I finally gave in and read the first chapter. By the end of the week, I had read the first four Harry Potter books. I had almost doubled my whole book total for my life. From Harry Potter I moved onto Tolkien. I also finally started reading Orthodox books, lives of saints, church fathers. I also like religious/historical fiction. The point is, if it wasn't for Harry Potter, I don't know when I would have started reading, and without reading I would have no reason to buy books. I probably wouldn't be a librarian either.;)
