Got to sleep sometime after 4am last night, woke up around 2pm to find a few missed calls from work on my phone. Ho hum. Now I feel tired but not sleepy, which is annoying. I spent most of today in bed so I don't see why I feel so worn out...

This weeks burst of insomnia has at least meant that I had plenty of undisturbed time to read the first few Harry Potter books, which [livejournal.com profile] gothslut lent me last week after hearing that I still hadn't read any of them.

I'm mildly disappointed - although perfectly good books, and I wouldn't mind reading the rest if I can borrow them, I can't say that I'd bother buying them. I'm surprised because various people I know who have read them have given them such a glowing recommendation - I was expecting to be more impressed than I am.

I imagine I would have been a great deal more impressed with them when I was a kid - I think the plots and characters are just too simple to really captivate me now. Nothing wrong with them, but they've only left the kind of impression on me that a good TV show might do, rather than the deeper impression a really good book can leave on the mind...

Mind you, the third one was better than the first two, so maybe they pick up as they go on... there's certainly a fair few of them now if I remember rightly?

Off to get slimed. Hopefully this will be a good thing...
