orz...

As what i said yesterday,I borrowed harry potter vol.1 from my cousin today.
I spent all the afternoon reading chapter1, trust me, It's really hard to read.
Maybe this is because of I've never tried to read English books before.
I tried not to look up those words I don't know,but it makes me crazy cause
I can't understand what it was saying!
umm...I guess I'm facing a really big problem now...
I think it's gonna take me a whole month to finish this book,though I really
hope this won't happen.
Are there any tips to help me read this faster and more "enjoyable"?
If there are,I'd better try it or I guess I would hit the ceiling while reading it someday...
