Hmmmm...this was supposed to go to the 50 Book Challenge community, but I've just discovered it's being moderated for...people who post nothing but lists of books. The irony is that I don't usually post just lists of books, but I was feeling too tired to write proper reviews of these books. I have a feeling I'm going to be rejected, so I'm posting this here for archival purposes.

I had a fit of madness just before the last Harry Potter book came out and decided to reread the first six books again before reading the last. This was a very good experience - I had forgotten a lot of the plot of the books, since I had read them so long ago and I discovered things I hadn't realized the first time around (like Sirius Black being mentioned within the first 10 pages of the first book). I also realized that I no longer had a "favorite" book; books that I didn't like the first time seemed much the better the second reading. I felt at the end like I had lived with these characters for ages.
