On the rare occasions when I "allow" myself to read something purely for fun, it is usually a novel suggested by a friend or colleague. Right now, I am reading the Harry Potter books ... a summer reading "project" that just feels right, since I missed out on the Pottermania that swept through people younger than me. I'm in the middle of the second book, and enjoying it immensely.
I believe you will be quite satisfied when you are finished the series. It starts out light-hearted and the tone becomes darker each book starting with The Prisoner Of Azkaban. Also, you will see how her writing actually improves as the series goes along.

I read Deathly Hallows in 2 days! I will probably read the series again sometime in the future.
