It might as well rain this weekend

At the stroke of midnight, many of the 10.8 million copies of J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” will be unwrapped and snapped up. That the biggest blockbuster of the summer of 2005 is a book is something to celebrate. That it will occupy its reader for hours is a bonus both for bored kids and their parents.

    Not my type of reading but a book that has kids actually wanting to stand in line to get a copy can’t be bad! Happy reading everyone.
