| | |  Quote of the Week - Ben Bernanke
Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve, recently gave a speech at the Boston College School of Law graduation ceremony, in which he mentioned addressing Harvard University's Class Day with J.K. Rowling last year. Quote:
Before my remarks, the student who introduced me took note of the fact that the senior class had chosen as their speakers Ben Bernanke and J. K. Rowling, or, as he put it, "two of the great masters of children's fantasy fiction." I will say that I am perfectly happy to be associated, even in such a tenuous way, with Ms. Rowling, who has done more for children's literacy than any government program I know of.

JKR is definetely one of the best children's fantasy authors - and probably just one of the best authors.
