Ah, yes...she who must never be called, "Why Not," that wondrous 
woman who is inclined to both girl talk and political discourse.

<waving at Rita> I haven't read _The Moon is a Harsh Mistress_ in 
several years; it's held up awfully well. Highly recommended between 
HP releases, y'all; by one of the grand masters: Robert A. Heinlein 
(he who wrote _Stranger in a Strange Land_).

About a playful computer which runs a moon colony on the verge of a 
war for independence. Also about the people the computer loves. Full 
of intrigue and excitement. Has some youngsters in it worthy of 
Hogwarts, including (IIRC) some redheads. Has a Dumbledore-ish 
character, too. Professor Bernardo de la Paz. Can probably be found 
cheap second-hand online.
