Love your site.

Jon: Checked the public radio site, and you’re right about J.K. Rowling’s birthday being today. I like your example MUCH better than mine.

Oddly enough, I didn’t think I was going to be able to review “Deathly Hallows” on a timely basis, because I don’t accept free books, $35 is too steep for a novel I might not like, and I was sure many people would be ahead of me on the library waiting list. But last night I went to the library, and there “DH” was, sitting on the checkout counter. I asked a clerk, “Is this book actually available for checkout?” He said it was, and I said, “It must be because my birthday is tomorrow.” I didn’t know it was Rowling’s birthday, too. A harmonic convergence in the NJ suburbs? At any rate, now I get to review the book (I hope) within a week or so.

Thanks a million for your kind words about the site, too.

I believe you also share it with J.K. Rowling…See today’s “Writer’s Almanac” from Garrison Keillor in which he gives a brief bio of Rowling: http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/

And thanks for this site. I really enjoy your reviews.

My little boy shares his birthday with you. He’s one today.

peace,
Phil
