Australian kids love Harry Potter
A recent poll conducted by Australia's largest bookseller Angus & Robertson asked over 23,000 Australian kids, aged 5-17, what their favorite books are. Harry Potter (of course) made the #1 spot. Of the top 50 most-voted-for books, 23 were by Australian writers. The poll coordinators were stunned to discover classics such as To Kill a Mockingbird and Pride and Prejudice were among the favorites.

Thanks to Damon, Book Basilisk and Joseph for the tip!

Quotes
I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed — or worse, expelled. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to bed.
