yeah it kind of bugs me that people are so crazed about it. why is it so important to have the book on the exact day that it comes out and why are there so many kids dressing up like Harry potter? it seems like these kids are being socialized into manic consumption. i guess it's good that kids are also socialized to read books though. but do they need all this fanfare to do it?
yes I agree, reading is good, but could they not tie it into these huge commercial nightmares. It seems to be the same with all the popular kids books these days.
