| | |  Quote of the Week - Ian Rankin
Ian Rankin, a Scottish crime writer and friend to J.K. Rowling, recently spoke a little about the author to the Herald, referring to her as a 'steadying force' in his life. Quote:
On his friendships, Rankin said: "It makes me laugh, because people think we sit and talk about existentialism. We actually just sit and blether about the sorts of things everyone does, like the weather and the traffic."
He described "Jo" Rowling as lighthearted and shy and a person who was more comfortable in the company of children than adults "She's very centred, though, and you'd never know she has all this money and fame. She's been round to ours for dinner and we've been round to hers. It's all very normal, neighbourly stuff.
"It's not often that the three of us do manage to get together, but when it happens, it's always good fun and we do enjoy each other's company."

It's so cool to see that even though she has all of this wealth and fame she's still a normal person. It's good to see that it hasn't gone to her head. Shame the same can't be said for all celebrities nowadays. | |
