Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows

I haven't posted anything in the last couple of months owing to my busy project schedule. Despite all this I recently came across someone claiming to have read the Harry Potter and the Deathly hallows. Searching the net I downloaded a pirated copy of it myself. The first ten pages confirmed my worst doubts. This was no JK Rowling stuff. Some fanatic geek has invested his time into this venture. It was too good to be her work. What I mean by this is the fact that this book contained everything that a fan would ask of the author and I know Rowling well enough to have other claims. She writes for kids and teens and not for grown-ups. If after july 21st it gets confirmed that this whole thing happens to be the true book - well I be damned. I am willing to pit my twenty year reading habit against it.

But the most important thing I am pointing out here is that, amidst my busy schedule I have been able to afford myself a day and a half of time to read 659 pages. Goes to prove again the time-proven fact. You never have time for anything in this world. you got to make time for them yourself.

P. S. : I know it was plain stupid of me to have read another 649 pages after knowing it was spoof. But that just shows how addicted I am to books. I miss them these days. Hopefully I get back to my old habit after leaving the university in a month's time.
