| | |  Vote for JKR in 'Greatest Living British Writer' Poll
Book magazine has nominated J.K. Rowling, among many other excellent writers, in their 'Greatest Living British Writer' poll. Quote:
The notion of literary greatness is probably best called to account, however, by none other than the woman who has already destroyed all the boundaries within which we like to corral our writers and artists. Joanne Rowling. Harry Potter’s creator has, without question, done more for literacy, for books and, indeed, for the perception of this country around the world than any writer, ever. Full stop! If The Beatles had a literary equivalent, J K Rowling is it. But, do sales of 300 million copiesof her books make her great? Does it really matter?
You may read the entire article here and vote here. Voting closes April 30th and there can only be one vote per e-mail address.

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

I couldn't decide between two of them, so was able to cast a vote for eash. JKR got one, Terry Pratchett the other. I would be absolutely ecstatic if either of them won, but they're fantasy writers and there is a terrible snobbish prejudice against fantasy and sci-fi which means they don't get awards, be it books or movies.
