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.

JK Rowling Writes A Book About, Oh, You Guessed Ever since the last Harry Potter book came out, there's been a lack of shamefaced adults reading kid's books on the tube. And that's because now everyone's reading Twilight instead, despite the fact that reading a staunchly conservative abstinence manifesto dressed up as a slushy emo romance fantasy in front of other adults is far worse than reading Harry Potter. So hooray for JK Rowling, who tomorrow releases her new Harry Potter spin-off book The Tales of Beedle the Bard, either for charity or to help us identify idiots more easily on the tube. Merry Christmas to you too, JK!
