Favourite Author
I would say that my favourite author is J.K. Rowling, or should I say, Joanne “Jo” Rowling. She had become a well-known writer throughout the world since she had first released her famous books – Harry Potter. And that is how I have got to know her too. I still remember reading her first Harry Potter book – Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone. It had truly enticed me to read on and on, as it is a book filled with friendships and magical stuffs which are very interesting. I would love to recommend her books to my friends.5 Facts about J.K. Rowling:
- The 2008 Sunday Times Rich List estimated Rowling's fortune at £560 million ($1.1 billion), ranking her as the 12th richest woman in Britain.
- Aside from writing the Potter novels, Rowling is equally famous for her "rags to riches" life story, in which she progressed from living on welfare to multi-millionaire status within five years.
- She has become a notable philanthropist, supporting such charities as Comic Relief, One Parent Families and the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain.
- Potter books have gained worldwide attention, won multiple awards, and sold nearly 400 million copies.
- Forbes ranked Rowling as the 48th most powerful celebrity of 2007, and Time magazine named her as a runner-up for its 2007 Person of the Year, noting the social, moral, and political inspiration she has given her fandom.
