Although I'm not really a fan of the Harry Potter series, I think J.K. Rowling accomplished an amazing feat in getting a whole generation of kids to turn off the T.V....and read a book.

1stindoor,

Lucky for me I didn't have to pass an English 101 test in SFTG because I'm sure at that time in my life at 18 I'd never had gotten any further in the training program, and neither would many others at that time.
