We surrender to Harry Potter

Today, during RifRaf's (book club) second meeting of the year, we will discuss Harry Potter. Last week it was decided that -- since the conversation seems to always come around to Harry Potter, no matter what the actual topic du jour is -- we'll try devoting one meeting a month to the topic. Maybe then there won't be so much Harry Potter bottled up in everyone and the rest of the time and other topics will have a chance.

Here's the display of all present-and-accounted-for Harry Potter books. In English, Spanish, French, German, and... Latin!



This blog will be quiet for about a week while I attend a meeting of the chapter authors for the MacArthur book series on digital media and learning. Never been to Newark, but I'm thinking I won't see much but the inside of the hotel. Despite that, I'm looking forward to some good conversations.
