h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sorry if I'm butting in but I think the release date for the fouth Harry potter book is 8th July.

Has anybody read Northern Lights by Philp Pullman it is a bit complicated at times but its a good read.

Oh, you're not butting in if you're talking about something in the thread.

Actually, Phillip Pullman is one of the authors on my "must read" list. Is he good?

I don't know yet but he's on my list as soon as I've read the other 15 books sitting on my bedside table.
A good friend of mine recommends "Northern Lights" very highly though. He thinks they're better than Harry Potter (and he really liked HP too).

This may sound mad but I have actually orded Harry Potter from my bookshop.

If it's mad then you're certainly not the only one. The not yet published, still unnamed 4th Harry Potter is apparently already the best seller at Amazon.co.uk !!

And now it's JK Rowling OBE, honoured as of today.

Its good to hear that I'm not mad!

Why? Insanity is fun!!!!!
Take it from me, Mad Auntie Brain, the totally insane one. The world will be mine, mine I tell you, allllllll miiineee he he he he he he he he he he he he eheeehhhhhhhedeeeeeeeeeeee!
