People In ‘Buying A JK Rowling Book’ Shocker We're not heroin addicts, but if we were - and heroin was made of books about rubbish schoolboy wizards - we'd be screwed. Because if that was true, then JK Rowling would be our dealer. And Rowling is a mean dealer, too - she's been withholding our supply, probably until we break down and agree to let her become our pimp or something - but yesterday JK Rowling threw us a lifeline. Because yesterday JK Rowling released her new book The Tales Of Beedle The Bard - kind of like the methadone to Harry Potter's hardcore skag - and somewhat predictably it instantly became a bestseller.
