TRIBUTES
J.K. Rowling
"I don't really like fantasy. It's not so much that I don't
like it, I haven't really read a lot of it. I have read Lord of the Rings,
though. I read that when I was about 14. I didn't read The Hobbit until I
was in my 20s--much later. I'd started Harry Potter by then, and someone
gave it to me, and I thought, Yeah, I really should read this, because people kept
saying, 'You've read The Hobbit, obviously?' And I was saying, 'Um, no.'
So I thought, Well, I will, and I did, and it was wonderful. [Sheepish smile]"
