How about -
J.K. Rowling - The Deamweaver or the Dream Maker
People can complain that J.K.Rowling is all hype and
her books are nothing but a popular fad, but I don't
think hype and popular fads spawn the level of
creativity among it's readers the way JKR does.
Last I checked on FanFiction.net, Rowling had 250,000
stories on just this one site. The next nearest genre
was only 40,000. Combine all Potter FanFic and it probably
dwarf the total of all other genre's combined.
Then we move into Fan Art, that is another body of genre
specific creativity that likely dwarfs all others by
comparison.
Harry Potter lights your mind on fire, the creative energy
just spills, overflowing, out of anyone who give the book
a fair read. That is probably the greatest measure of J.K.
Rowling's greatness as an author.

So... how is Skype working out for you? Do you have a
paid account or just the free one? How's the sound
quality? Have you tried international calls to regular
phone numbers...is it cheaper? Enquiring minds want to
know.

So, are you an Eragon fan?? I certainly am. I just left
a review here, and would like to hear your take on the
books.
For what it's worth.
