NY Times article, "Potter has limited effect on reading habits" discusses the roll that the Harry Potter books may or may not have had in bringing kids to reading. All I can say is that I have never read Harry Potter. I'm a good person who neither needs to be corrupted by that demonic tale, nor needs to be corrupted by reading in general.
Long live TV, X-box, and GameBoy!
So, apparently I'm the only one who procrastinates anymore.
This one's for you future children's librarians. Maybe those of you who loved Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy already know that there's a Golden Compass movie coming out this winter. And I know that the movie is always always worse than the book when it comes to beloved children's classics. Still, the website is worth checking out because (and I know you won't judge me for this), you can take a quiz and meet your daemon!
Mine is jackal, which apparently means that I am solitary, spontaneous, clever and shy. Also a scavenger who, according to Wikipedia, marks its territory with urine and feces. Go figure. Alright, enjoy procrastinators.
p.s. If the title of this post makes no sense to you, you should know that in the movie The Omen, a jackal gives birth to the Anti-Christ.
This one is for all the poop lovers in the audience... especially you, Lia V. How long until library books are bound with poop covers?!
