J.K. Rowling keeps surprising me, which is clearly one of the reasons she is so popular. But honestly, Dumbledore's murder knocked the wind out of me. I couldn't believe it, and I was sure he was going to pull a Gandalf and return at some point. Well, he didn't, at least not in this novel. I don't know what happens in the next and final installment of the series. I have been thinking about Dumbledore all weekend, in disbelief. Wow. And I probably shouldn't admit to this, but I was kind of a Snape fan (I think because Alan Rickman is so good). I know that he is mean to Harry and all, but I preferred to think of him as misunderstood, especially after the revelation about how Harry's father James really treated him. I was so hoping he was on the right side. (He might still be, under the imperious curse or something, but that feels like a stretch.) Sigh. Book 7, here I come. (This is the first time I'm reading it, so no spoiler comments, please :)
Other than that, I am still reading Pride and Prejudice. It is okay. I know that is literary blasphemy, but eh. I'm enjoying it enough to continue but it is not living up to the hype for me.
On a side note, does anyone else find Mr. Bennet absolutely hysterical? Best character in the book, I would say, however minor.

The Harry Potter series are filled with surprises. I listened to the audio version of the books which made me feel like I was attending a play in my car.
Though I haven't read the book (it is on my TBR list though) but watched several movie versions, I did think he was funny on the screen.

So you don't want me to tell you about the bit where Harry is kidnapped by aliens and taught to crochet?
