the topic title made me think that rowling dumped shit inside a book and sold it for 4 millions. With shit i mean real shit, just to clarify.

give it a few more years and it'll happen. rowling will probably be heralded as the most avant garde writer of this century.

hahahahahaha

I can't believe she didn't use fucking BLACK ink. but I can't look at anything in blue ball-point ink and think anything other than "rough draft".

Seriously, the only thing I see when I look at those images is the blue ink. Not the fact that it's a unique copy of something (or whatever) or that a billionaire wrote it, just the blue ink.

back in school, we used to use blue ballpens. Some people used black, but blue was going around the most. I dont see anything weird about it.

Though I think there are a lot of you who don't seem to like art.

I feel the need to quote this.

My the first page is confusing. Did Myke genuinely not get that Jamicus was joking or was there an iota of truth in there somewhere?

I hope that my writing is one day famous enough that I can pull stunts like this.

This was what I found most interesting about the news as well. It's krazy how certain celebrities can just manipulate, essentially, their own demand by selling pieces of their lives. Rowling gets considerable credence for going through the trouble of writing seven entire copies by hand, but man I'd abuse that little perk in a flash.

Also Mark big deal in what sense? I think Sredni worded it pretty well.

I like how the dude needs white gloves to handle the book. Is this because the book is a precious ornament or because he's afraid of shitting up his hands???

Several of us didn't get it until his second post (we were discussing it on IRC).

Mostly because everything Jamicus posts is ridiculous and I wouldn't doubt for a second that he actually meant that.

No you simply don't get it, this makes her a terrible person.

A terrible person who's a shit writer.

A terrible shit writer person with a cunt like a wizard's sleeve.

That's what this makes her. Right?

Your link is the source.

It says she "donated the proceeds", and since "the proceeds" = 1.35 whatever million euros, she legally donated it all.

She wrote 7 copies of a 150 page book by hand.... and gave 6 away... and sold one for 1.4m euros... donating it to charity.

Content of her books aside... how can you not respect that?

JK Rowling has donated to many many more charities in the past before this. I really don't think that she would have donate millions of dollars if she was really worried about her fiscal situation. Jesus Christ is this topic a joke or are you really that fucking cynical?

the topic isn't the children that benefited from this sale but the fact that people who like harry potter are retarded.

please stay on topic.
