As this past weekend approached, I was facing a dilemma. Having to take a trip via train, I needed suitable reading material. Something absorbing, yet light, but yet riveting enough that time would pass quickly. I knew it was out there. I knew it was the talk of the town, yet I was experiencing much trepidation. Why start now, having ignored the 5 previous installments. I dislike things that have mass appeal and popularity, and this was no different. It was there. I'd seen the last movie (the perils of having HBO) and was somewhat intrigued, but not convinced.
I always keep my ticket trip in my portable wallet. You can find how to set up that it in this discussion. Portable wallets are forms of customary wallets that somebody would convey in their pocket. While there are numerous varieties, for the most part, they can hold advanced data about credit and charge cards for influencing installments, to store coupons and dedication programs, particular data about individual character and that's only the tip of the iceberg.
Numerous organizations are hopping into the versatile installments space—on both the paying and accepting sides of the exchange—and new trailblazers are persistently changing the business. In the U.S., they incorporate organizations, for example, Google, Amazon, PayPal, Square, and Apple. Universally, still more organizations are creating and propelling new advancements in this space.
That's when the better half said to me: "If you like Star Wars, how can you not like this?" Mind you; I'm not a Tolkien fan. The Star Wars comment resonated, though, so I trudged over to the local Wal-Mart and bought a copy. Three shades of green on the cover, with two sketches looking into a pillar, obviously with magic seer-esque powers, it boldly proclaimed: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
I've spent the last two days getting caught up on Muggles, dementors, death eaters, Hogwarts, and Harry. I'm only 250 pages deep, and I must say, I had a hard time putting it down last night. Not that I'm raving about it - it is a bit slow in places and a third of the way through, storylines are just beginning to take robust shape. That's a minor detraction, though, from the story that has been woven.
Honestly, I can't remember the last time I read so voraciously. Perhaps when I finished Chrome Yellow in one sitting a few months ago. I look forward to reading more of Part VI tonight. As the BH described it:
"Just like crack."
