Hey, don't pick on Kim too much. I know where he's coming from. Not to say anything one way or another about Ms. Rowling's ability as a writer, but I'm just not interested in fantasy. This is why I find Star Wars so gruesomely boring. Now if you've got good thought-provoking SF (like 'Code 46' or Gattaca'), I'm right there. Guess I'm just an old grump. --------------- The thread till now.... You are seriously underestimating JK Rowling. These are not children's books! Sorry, but if you had red them you would realize that. Until you have read them, I don't see where you can judge them. WARNING! The following is likely to offend fans of JKR and Harry Potter. I've never cared much for children's literature, even when I was a child. I've never understood the attraction the Harry Potter books have for adults. I haven't read them and don't intend to. If they're anything like the films, I definitely won't be reading the books, unless Alzheimer's or some other malady robs me of what little intellectual powers I have. (I was coerced into taking the kids to the movies.) I don't mean to belittle anyone else's interest in the literature, but what is it that others find so interesting? Now Isaac Asimov, I can understand... _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.utahastronomy.com _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.utahastronomy.com
