Post Deathly Hallows on MPs summer reading list

A survey was conducted recently by Waterstone's to find out what MPs (Members of Parliament) would be reading this summer. Deathly Hallows featured on two of the lists, which were broken down according to political parties. The book chain asked 180 MPs about their reading intentions.

That's really good! It should be number one, though. But it has been nearly a year since Deathly Hallows was released, so I guess being number three will do.

I have a hard time believing that all the books they read are biographies. But yes, very nice to see Deathly Hallows up there, and yay for The God Delusion!
