Life has no meaning anymore...
Let's ignore the fact that I'm deliberately two months behind most everyone else in things that I do that have to do with contemporary culture...
I just finished the last Harry Potter book early this morning, and I have no idea what to do with myself. Any suggestions? Because I might just start all over again, the books were that good. I started book one back after seeing movie 5 (I figured I'd better start reading them around that time).
I'm going to turn into more of a freak than I am. Please help. Other good reading? The genre doesn't matter to me, I like pretty much everything.

Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. By the time you finish the first 11 books and the prequel you can wait eagerly for the last book.

Oooh...something else to get buried in. :-) Synopsis?
I like Tudor history, so occasionally when I find a good gem on that, I break away from whatever it is that I'm reading regularly.
The Potter books were awesome. I haven't turned in my TV in a month. I'm so out of touch, if it weren't for the Express newspaper on the train, I think I'd be underground.

I like Tudor history too GIMR. Went for a few years devouring anything I could find on that subject.
I just finished Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meanings of Life by Dennett. Don't know if it is your cup of tea, but I thought it was a great read.
Go putz around amazon if nothing else and find something.
Good luck.

Hey Book of Mormon,
The title sounds intriguing, I think I've seen you post about it before. I'll see if the local library has it, can't be buying any books lately. *sigh* HP was a rare treat.
I'm kind of mad, my school has me on a freeze because some idiot told me I had summer aid when I didn't so I applied for classes with no way to pay for them. I dropped them, but one day too late, so now I owe my school $1300. I plan to write them about this, but meanwhile they're holding my transcripts, financial aid, and refusing to let me sign up for any classes until I pay this balance. I feel like a debtor, not a student.
So I gotta try and fill my head elsewhere meanwhile.
I honestly don't know why people think I have money growing out of my.... :-)

Oh my goodness! What a nightmare!
Oh, isn't that the most infuriating when you trust an individual is proficient at their job and unbeknownst to you they are completely incompetent!!?
So terribly sorry GIMR. I certainly hope you get this straightened out immediately.
Why don't you join us in the chatroom GIMR?

Excellent series! I've been reading (and re-reading) these for years. I was just thinking of going through them again.
And GIMR - they're nice and thick books. Lots of story to tell.
