Instead, I skim, in the vain hope that I&#8217;ll stumble across a piece of information that&#8217;s worth paraphrasing and sharing with my followers.  This makes me less of an audience member and more like a member of a relay team, who&#8217;s more [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;d never read the books, so giving up on the movies was easy.  And by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, I&#8217;d had my fill of wooden child actors, creaky plots and my friends insisting that &#8220;the books were [...]]]></description>
