Satisfy your lust for info about authors and the people that live in their heads.
Authors
- JK Rowling uses this site to debunk all the frenzied and false Harry Potter rumors. This is just about the coolest use of Flash out there ... be prepared to get sucked in and kiss the rest of your day goodbye
- Neil Gaiman updates his blog with incredible regularity for real-time slices of a writer's life
Books
- The official site for the His Dark Materials triology features an Encyclopaedia with a pronunciation guide, in case you care whether it's Lee-rah or Lie-rah
- The DaVinci Code* for pictures of the pictures, and a quiz for die-hard fans
- Disney will be releasing a new live-action film of the Chronicles of Narnia this December. The excellence of this official site gives me high hopes for the production values of the movie!
Need a suggestion?
- Guys read has a great mission: getting guys of all ages to read books they'll really love
- Fantastic Fiction has bibliographies for over 7000 authors and info on over 140,000 books
*Who cares if it's hooey ... anything that can get the whole world excited about reading is okay by me!
