Finally, this is just a fun thing that I              
                          stumbled upon.  It's a very entertaining        
                          interactive interview with British actress
Julie Walters, one of my favorite people on the planet,
who's done everything from "Educating Rita" to
"Calendar Girls" to "Billy Elliot" to Harry Potter's
surrogate mom, Mrs. Weasley.  Here's the link:  
A Conversation with Julie Walters .  Just pick a format

J. K. Rowling & Gold Satin Shoes...
interview that it's one of her
fond indulgences now that
she doesn't have to watch
the budget all the time.  You
wear it (them?) well,  Jo.  
Here's a link to the British
Book Awards which has
some excellent ideas for your
future reading pleasure.
