Stygian Vistas
Yay, the new Harry Potter book is finally out! Now will everyone just shut the hell up about it already? See, those of us who haven't read any of the books, seen any of the movies, bought any dumb-ass wizard hats--and just generally don't give a shit about Harry Potter--don't want to hear about it anymore. We're adults who don't read children's books or dress up in funny glasses to look like our favorite children's book characters.Nor do we want to hear about how the Harry Potter books have rekindled kids' interest in reading, because that's apparently bullshit, according to this article.
So take your book--the one you waited in line to buy for six hours last night--go home, and don't emerge from under the covers until you've read it eight times by flashlight. Then have a good cry because Harry died or got paralyzed in a magic accident or OD'd on meth or whatever, and, when you're ready, rejoin the rest of the world. But when you do, don't start talking to us about the books or the movies, assuming we've read or seen them. We haven't. And we don't want to.
Harumph.
