Hi everyone,

I've just finished listening to JK Rowling on BBC Radio 4's "Desert Island
Discs".  Here are the records she chose to take to her imaginary desert
island (excuse any misspellings):

The Beatles - "Come Together"
The Smiths - "Bigmouth Strikes Again"
Beethoven - "Apassionata"
Tchaikovsky - "Violin Concerto in D Major"
REM - "Everybody Hurts"
Marianne Faithfull - "Guilt"
Jimi Hendrix Experience - "All Along The Watchtower"
Mozart - "Requiem in D Minor"

Each guest is allowed one book in addition to The Bible and complete works
of Shakespeare.  JKR chose "The SAS Survival Guide" to give hersefl a better
chance of staying alive on the desert island.

Finally, she was allowed one luxury item, and she chose some paper and a pen.

I'll post some snippets from the interview with Sue Lawley in a moment.
Nothing too amazing, but one or two interesting things.
