I remember I read everything.
I’d go the library, borrow any-sort-of books and devour them all while I was
eating, in the toilet, everywhere. I particularly liked folk tales, Joan Aiken,
Philippa Pearce, Beverly Clearly, short story anthologies, horror and science
fiction, but chances are if you gave me anything I’d read it.
Day is fussy.
More than half of what I throw
at him, he doesn’t fancy. He doesn’t take a second look at Enid Blyton, the
Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Alfred Hitchcock, Roald Dahl and certainly nothing
which I used to like as a girl.
He’s also not interested in
library fare which kills me because I don’t believe in buying books.
So he just keeps re-reading
all the same old stuff. His Tin Tins, Geronimo Stiltons, the Beast Quests,
while I keep wondering what else might strike his fancy. You know, try to broaden
his horizons and all that.
Then one day I decided to
throw all seven Harry Potter books at
him and tadah! Success! He loves the whole series although I’m not quite sure
why he would prefer it over, say, the lovely Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

It looks as if, from your previous post that Day was reading Harry Potter instead of doing anything for his exams. I was like that too except it wasn't my primary 2 exams. And it was my honours year. And it was a thesis that I couldn't write till I finished reading Potter! Haha!
oh hahahahhaha!!!!!! yes he was reading potter instead of studying for his tests.
next up: harry potter dvd marathon during june hols!!!
Dan wants to plan a kid super hero movie marathon because of the Avengers and he thought of asking David and Rachel's Isaac. :) And when I asked what about the girls? He said he would do a Princess one some other time! Hahaha!
