[HPforGrownups] JKR on Desert Island Discs (I)

[Yaz]

No: HPFGUIDX 5158

I don't often post here, but I heard Desert Island Discs this morning, and
just wanted to add a couple of things...

> The Beatles - "Come Together"
> The Smiths - "Bigmouth Strikes Again"

JKR said that after The Beatles, The Smiths are her favourite band - due to
Johnny Marr's guitar playing and the witty lyrics. I must say, she does have
good taste, The Smiths are a particularly wonderful band *grin*.

> 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.

>From what I remember (I didn't record it so I can't check) she chose an
unlimited supply of paper and pens, and she then said that since she would
be able to write her own stories for entertainment, she wouldn't have
another literature book but instead would have the SAS Survival Guide as she
felt that staying alive was more important.


Anyway, whilst I'm here, I'd just like to say how much I enjoy reading all
the stuff you all post; keep it coming!

You never know, maybe I'll even start posting more regularly! (Like I have
that much spare time...)

Cheers

Yaz :-)
