Harry Potter

OK, I’ve finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire now — and I get it.

Forget Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA, I need Harry Potter 5, 6 and 7.

Update: Actually I read instead Gene Kerrigan’s wonderful police-detective novel set in Dublin, The Midnight Choir; a first-rate page turner.

Update update: After dinner Wednesday, I began Legacy of Ashes and got as far as 1950. Already the CIA has failed to predict the Soviet atomic bomb, the Korean war and the Chinese invasion (into Korea). Indeed, the Agency was saying China wouldn’t invade after it had already begun to in early November 1950.
