Kids astound me sometimes.

A woman came in earlier today, returning the 5th Harry Potter book. She had taken it out June 21 (2 weeks ago) and her daughter had read it three times. She wanted to read it more, but her mother made her return it, knowing there would be a lot of kids waiting for it. The book is what, 867 pages? Three times, in two weeks. Wow.

::sheepish::
I've done about the same before. When you read fast and you've nothing else to do (like, yanno, summer break?) you'd be amazed.

My sister read it three times in five days.

*just raises an eyebrow*

Crazy ass kids.
