this just came up in my newsfeed, was this old news or am i late to the party?
at least we can have a new book discussion while waiting for wow. Jk Rowling finished her series and quit working with an editor. Maybe she should coach GRRM:
“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.” ― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
So JK Rowling finished her Septology in like 9 years. Now, she's got an 8th coming out before GRRM can crank out book 6, when his first was published a year before Sorcerer/Philosopher's Stone. Not cool.
But awesome that there's going to be a Book 8!
"I can see it. You have more of the north in you than your brothers."
But it's a play. And she actually wasn't the one to write it. She only collaborated.
Why must I always be the isle of crazy alone in an ocean of sensibility? The should to everybody else’s shouldn’t? The I-will to their better-nots?
Huh--so, the guests who got served Slytherin cake--I'm assuming they might have cause to be offended.
All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Oscar Wilde.
But it's a play. And she actually wasn't the one to write it. She only collaborated.
i heard a rumor that after the play has its initial run, they will be releasing a novelization. i'm hoping this is true as there is no way i'll be able to go to London twice to catch both parts of the play...
