In Salon this morning, a review of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Because the local library has a huge waiting list for this book, and because we've heard so much about it, Catherine and I bought it to read and then donate to the library. I think it says something about children's literature today that this is so immensely popular, I mean, it's a fun escapist book, but unlike some of the books of my childhood I don't think I'm going to get anything out of it by rereading it.
