Is anyone else going about, starting to read a book, and losing interest because it isn't Harry Potter?

Also, spelling-challenged parents, I do not think that "Dolorous" was what you intended to name your baby daughter.

How much worse is "Dolorous" than "Dolores"? It's only the adjective as opposed to the noun.

One's an actual English word, one isn't. And it the different stress or something, I found it funny.

I think I've been reading books so opposite from HP because I was afraid to be disappointed in them...if that makes sense.

I haven't been reading things along the lines of HP because I know it won't be the same, but I was trying to read CJ Cherryh (sf, the style about as different from Rowling's as you can imagine), and I was still going, "But I want to read Harry Potter #8!"

I remember feeling the same after HBP came out, but now there will never be more books, woez.
