Okay,if you are a creative person, then you must enjoy an active imagination. And even though this post is not craft-related per se, my thought is that you enjoy anything of admirable creativity....So my guess is you are, at least in part, a Harry Potter fan. I discovered Harry when the 2nd book came out (Chamber of Secrets), and glommed onto them like a child does a "blankie". I love the imaginative details; and I love that it can be shown to have much deeper symbolisms, as "classic" literature.
I became a fan of a couple of podcasts that would analyze the stories, which added to my enjoyment of the series. One of the podcasts is hosted by Travis Prinzi, a well educated lover of Literature, a writer, and a teacher (among other things and I can't figure out how he fits all of it into 24 hours). Travis just published a book called "Harry Potter and Imagination: The Way between Two Worlds"; I am looking forward to reading Travis' insightful commentary. With all my own projects going on, I don't get much time to read. So when I do have time, I want what I read to be stimulating and thought provoking (unless it's at the end of a long day with my 3 yr old, in which case a magazine with lots of pictures of shoes and fashion suffices). If this book is anything like Travis' commentary, it will be a good read. Even if YOU'RE not an HP fan, I'm pretty sure you know someone who is.

Just imagine....
