thanx to veritaserum
Thanks to reader Rocio for letting us know that TIME Magazine's "Person of the Year" for 2005 will be announced on CNN this Sunday at 8 AM. As many of you know, JK Rowling was included in the online poll, which she won convincingly, so she's definitely in contention. A couple of comments about Jo featured on TIME's page are below: It has to be J.K. Rowling. For any devoted Harry Potter fan, that woman is a kind-hearted genius. Luke McLean Burwell, Cambridge, U.K. What a hard decision! I think I would have to go with J.K. Rowling due to the fact that I can escape in her writing and drink in her characters so completely. She is a master storyteller. You escape to a place so remarkably fantastic but so tangibly real. Anyone that can nourish the minds of the future deserves the Person of the Year title. Kelly Atwater Golden, Colo. Hi I am 12 and I read TIME once in a while. I think J.K. Rowling should be person of the year she made me love reading. She takes you to another world, she is inspiration. Katherine Gloucester, Mass. Also, thanks to DR.co.uk for reminding us that Foley and McColl's "This Way Up" will air on Saturday night at 11:30pm on the BBC. Dan Radcliffe guest stars on the show. |
