J.K. Rowling’s Ministry of Magic
Now that the dust has settled on ”Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” Stephen King reflects on why no review did it justice, and whether kids (and their grown-ups) will ever read the same way again

Spike gives good Harry

Yes, it’s lame. Anyway, it turns out James Marsters has been doing the audio books for Harry Dresden. There are bloopers on JamesMarsters.com, he’s pretty good. If audio books weren’t so expensive, I’d buy them.

Very cool

Complete Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy book online at Forever Geek

Complete Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy book online at Forever Geek

Well there may be mixed opinions on the movie, but the book is a classic and hilarious as ever. If you can’t afford the $5 for the paperback copy of the book, or just prefer reading on your computer (weirdo!), you can now access the entire book online in one giant page. Could be useful for searching for your favorite quote at the very least.

Needless to say, I’ve already installed them on my Palm for reading on the go.

Anne Bishop’s Official Website

Amazing dark fantasy. She seems to do the site herself which adds a nice personal touch. There are excerpts of some of her works on the “Books” page (which is up-to-date), just keep your credit card handy for a trip to Amazon afterwards.
