J.K. Rowling
I'm a quasi Harry Potter movie fan. I enjoy each sequel more than the last movie. As for the books themselves, LOVE that Harry and friends have brought the joy of reading to so many kids. Love, love, love that. But the books are not a good read for me.
To add insult to (fan) injury, I found J. K. Rowling's reading on Tuesday night boring. Her selection showed an odd lack of creativity. Not that her young fans noticed -- they were in Hogwarts Heaven as they should have been. But I was bored.
Then again, Jon Stewart introduced Rowling and was hysterical (Mel Gibson, books killing TV, 5-month-old daughter on line for next book, more Mel). So, for me, Jo had a tough act to follow.
