Offline Browsing a variety of classical music dictionaries and encyclopaedias to support the classical music tsunami that is just commencing at my place.
I think the move of house triggered it, though it may have been about time in my music-listening cycle anyway.
Even though my CD collection is now a lot more compact in shelf space, it’s still reasonably large (even after giving away around 350 CDs last month) – HKL was rather amazed when she saw it. I have somehow gone from 2 complete Beethoven symphony cycles to 3, with a few extras of my 3 favourites (5, 6 and 9).
Same with the books; lesser in number – higher in quality.

Less then 50 pages to go. I might get it finished before the end of the year.
Absolutely no idea what I will read next. Will be strange not lugging around a tome everywhere I go.

I’m onto the final one, I’ll be sad when I’ve finished it- I really, really like the Harry Potter series and I still think it is my favourite series of all time.
I haven’t read this one in at least 4 years so I’m looking forward to it- I read the first chapter and I was just really excited to keep on going- but I’ll have to wait until tonight before I can pick it up again 🙁

They are making a canon play that continues the story so you’re kinda not done with the main series. Also there are the little stories like the fairy tales, the sports book and fantastic beast and where to find them (They are making a movie out of that one)

Stick with it, @ewe2. They are worth it. I took some time off between and sometimes during my read of the books, but they are so well written and so full of descriptive detail that they keep drawing you back. I can still remember certain vivid passages, like the death of JEB Stuart, and many of the vignettes featuring Lincoln.

ewe2I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.

Yes, I’m aware its not history in any sense that satisfies an academic, but he gets the spirit of the times and the personalities so right, I’m quite happy to settle for a great tale even if he repeats urban myths like the soldier who diaried his own death. I find it an amazingly fair account from a Southerner, he doesn’t spare Davis nor the secessionists. And whether his insight into Lincoln is valid or not (has any biography really grasped the man?), I love Lincoln’s jokes and his ability to manage all those maniacs yelling at him to do this or that or the other. I will read a “proper” history later.

I’ve read all of them- The Fantastic Beasts’ trailer looks…interesting but it does seem like just a massive cash-in making a movie based on a textbook in the HP universe. The Tales of Beedle the Bard would make a great mini-tv series, if they animated them in a similar way to the the way ‘The Tale of the Three Brothers’ was done in the film and extended them a bit.
I won’t be going to London at any time soon to see the Cursed Child but I hope they do a live cinema broadcast sometime.

Offline I think there’s little doubt that if The Cursed Child is judged a success then it will soon be a two part movie (the stage production is already a two-parter).
It does seem JK is starting to accept that she is trapped in HP’s world as a writer. TCC could just be the beginning, just testing the waters to see how the world responds to a grown-up Harry.

Offline She’s already published three crime novels under the name Robert Galbraith since HP, @Starr Shine?. While they were moderate successes, much of the success could be said to be down to the revelation that RG was really JK.

Offline I read and enjoyed her first adult-novel The Casual Vacancy and I read her first detective novel and liked it as well but Jo won’t ever escape the ‘Author of Harry Potter’ image and I think she’s fine with that. She never expected HP to blow up the way it did and the fact that she had it planned out since the early ’90’s shows that she wasn’t just in it for ‘take the money and go’.
