That’s where I sat as I listened…
where I finished The Deathly Hallows, where I listened to the last moments of the last cd of the last book…..Do you get what I’m trying to say….THE LAST. It’s over, there is no more and I feel totally, completely and hopelessly lost yet equally satisfied and elated. I know that’s a bit dramatic for just a book but it’s honestly how I feel. I was knitting Phinneas and as Jim spoke the last words I felt the tears. It’s funny how this series had all the elements of so many Good vs. Evil, David and Goliath type tales. But yet this was so fresh and different and unique and special. I just loved every word. Even the moments when I got frustrated with certain characters (I’m not giving anything away in any of the books) and certain events, the story never failed to surprise and almost “reward” the reader’s faithfullness. As I heard…”all was well” and the music started to play, all I could do was sit there….I tried to talk to Chris but as supportive as he is with everything I do he just didn’t get this…Now what do I do? What can I possibly read or listen to that can compare…Just like The Red Tent ruined me, I’ve been ruined again…it’s been well worth it.
Thanks for your company…Bye Harry….
So, what book is next? I know I often feel a little lost at the end of a good book or knitting project; I feel like I’m cheating to read or knit something else, but feel empty without a book to read or new project to knit. Yet you wonder if anything will feel as good to read or to knit.
I’m interested to see what book you pick next to knit to.
