[the_old_crowd] A Quote For Us Fans

[Kat Macfarlane]

I thing you've  summed it up in one. I have to keep reminding myself that, however clever a writer JKR is, these books are basically children's books, and children, and even teenagers, don't generally read between the lines.

Purrs!

--Gatta

  I came on this quote in a book of literary puzzles called, "Who betrayed
  Elizabeth Bennett?" and I just had to share it with you all.



  "If there is anything pleasant in life, it's doing what we are not meant
  to do. If there is anything pleasant in criticism, it is finding out
  what we aren't meant to find out. It's the method by which we treat as
  significant what the author did not mean to be significant, by which we
  single out as essential what the author regarded as incidental."



  -         Ronald Knox, 'Studies in the Literature of Sherlock Holmes."



  He's got us fandom-types down to a tee, doesn't he?
