    All jokes aside it's impressive accomplishment to go from a single mother on the dole to the most successful author of all time and she's still relatively young. The big question really has to be what next?

      She's the literary Britney Spears.
      In their own times, so were Charles Dickens and William Shakespeare. Don't even get me started on Dumas.

      The only question is whether the story and craft appeals across generations, which Harry Potter seems to do very well so far.

    Oh that's just so wrong. I bet he'd go for Starbuck though. Actually, probably Boomer, seeing that he had a thing for Asians :)

    Great. All we need is 363 more terrorist attacks and nobody will be able to do anything anymore for fear of not being sensitive enough.
