    J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows **CONTAINS SPOILERS**

    My Dad pointed out that she may have done the annoying Happily Ever After Epilogue to keep people from writing sequels of Voldemort coming back.

    Are you what you read?

    I think that part of why it seems that way sometimes is that books are a great source for thought. Most people think about what they're reading while they read it, even if the thoughts are only surface ones. Different genres and styles lead to different thoughts, and different thoughts can...

    Realistic Fantasy...is there such a thing?

    I tend to think that the Pratchett books are pretty realistic, and they're undoubtably fantasy novels, but I'm not particularly picky about that really. Colour of Magic isn't one of his best, though. I'd go with Reaper Man or Night Watch personally, or if you really want a stronger pull of...

    One cat I don't want near me....ever

    ::stares over Seven's shoulder while he writes:: Stephie, did you not catch the article's link, or did the article confuse you? Basically, there's a cat that curls up in people's beds a few hours before they die. It's in a nursing home/rehabilitation centre, so it's been able to do this 25...

    The Darwin Awards DVD-July 31st

    My father has the book, and I read through some of the stories a year or so ago. This one is definitely my favourite.

    Recommendations for an inexperienced reader?

    You can never, ever go wrong with Stephen King's books, despite the awful movies. Also, Terry Pratchett is a personal favourite in the area of fantasy. If you like humour that makes you use your brain a little bit and reflect on things, then he's the man for you. A nearly endless supply of...

    But of course. ^_^

    What do bookworms do for exercise?

    I do my physical therapy and crunches. Laaazy.

    Do you play a musical instrument?

    Once upon a time, I played the flute. I had that breathing thing going pretty well, but that was about it. I'll be taking it up again in about a month, once I'm in college.

    Which magazines do you read?

    A perhaps odd mix; Playboy and Good Housekeeping.

    What could JK Rowling write next (pertinent to HP)?

    I must also eek at the idea. I'm pretty edgy about it when authors get too detailed. That's what fanfiction is for; making up lots of details in their own imaginations and toying with a world that's mostly misty. It's what keeps the interest and makes everyone who likes HP prance around...

    Katrina Kittle: The Kindness Of Strangers

    Yay! I've been looking for a new book to read, but have been sort of stumbling along without finding anything to catch my attention. Somewhere in the yada yada, blah blah, my attention was stolen away. So: yay! Thanks for the review/suggestion. ^_^

    How Long Between Books?

    I just sort of hop into another one right away, unless the book was particularly thought-provoking and something I feel I need to mull over for a little while.

    Aww! The third one down is a beautiful picture, and that kitty looks super cute. Do you have any more current ones? ^_^

    Aww...I think it's sorta sweet.

    J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows **CONTAINS SPOILERS**

    I think that has more to do with the fact that the first few books were very children-oriented. When they were coming out, I was younger than Harry and adored the books. Now that they're finishing, I'm older than he is, and I still love them, but there's no doubt that the books grew up along...
