YASNY Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Shes crying because her books suck. She's crying because her books that suck have made her wealthier the Queen Elizabeth. Hmmmm .... I wonder, if she's single? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I sent her a very original plot line for the final book. Harry returns to Hogwarts as a professor and to Gryffindor as their advisor. He is dismayed to learn that Gryffindor has been regulated to the 4th best house at Hogwarts and populated with all the dorks, and non-pure bloods. I call it Welcome Back Potter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 She's crying because her books that suck have made her wealthier the Queen Elizabeth. Hmmmm .... I wonder, if she's single? Have people heard Rowlings story? IIRC she was a divorced single mother who wanted to write something for her kids to read. Now she is world reknowned and richer than the royal family.

BrandoFan Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 At one time she was living on the streets! Greatest comeback story in a long time. 1998....Two outs in the 9th/Sox down by 4: 0-2, Caruso reaches on infield hit....0-2 on Thomas walks....0-2 Belle hits a 3-run homer....1-2 Ventura hits a solo shot....tied at 8....extra innings....belle singles....Ventura blasts a GW homma to RF, virtually to the same spot as the one before....Crowd goes wild and so do I. Rowlings's little story couldn't top that, no way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Roxette's slower melodies, non-rock; the leads singer used to have a nice voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 She's getting kids to read 700 and 900 pages books. That is awesome. I've read the books and find them to be rather light in the literature department but for their target audience are very good. I try and encourage kids to read The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings after the finish Harry Potter. Nice intro to better writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolkien is looking down saying "Now they f***in' make the movie . . ." In the words of my son "I have outgrown (at 14) Harry Potter but need to read it because I've read the others" He has LOTR posters, etc. in his room but all the Potter stuff is gone.

Soxplosion Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 Tolkien was a nut. The man thought he lived in Middle Earth for crying out loud. Thats even more disturbing than Rowlings. Id say the best comeback story belongs to Kurt Warner or Tommy Maddux (Steelers QB). Both those guys were packing grocery bags a few years ago and now theyre NFL quarterbacks. Amazing. And Lance Armstrong might beat those guys. I mean, Kurt and Tommy never had to fight cancer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Tolkien was a nut. The man thought he lived in Middle Earth for crying out loud. Thats even more disturbing than Rowlings. Not only was he a MD'al scholar, but some of his underpinning themes were industrialization and xenophobia as wel as the ol' trite battle of good and evil.... So, you see, it's not just the delicious homoeroticism between the hobbits that is the main appeal of LOTR. At least not always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
