Kudos to JKR for getting kids reading again; maybe in a few years time we will have a generation that is at least partially literate.

Beyond that.

Yawn.

I won't apologise for shamelessly enjoying them as the adult (yes yes, I know) version of what I used to read as a kid - boarding school books like Mallory Towers, kid "gang" books like the Famous Five and so on.

Not everybody can be Pynchon. Thank fucking Christ, if you ask me. I admire Pynchon, it's certainly more intellectual, worthy and lasting (I haven't read them all but since immerwahr has, at least 5 times each, I'll take absorption by association)... but sometimes one just needs disposable pap. Some people read Stephen King, some JKR.

I'm dating myself - and I always hate saying that, sounds like I'm sitting in a restaurant with my other personalities.

Anyway, I'm off to get my preordered copy on Sunday and have been re-reading the previous two in preparation.

Le 'oi polloi, c'est moi. Hi-hon hi-hon, as Mr Leary would say.

They need to allow editing of comments, damn them.

That's Dennis, not Timothy by the way.
