So I finished re-reading Half Blood Prince and am immersed in the story and ready to continue. And log in to check and find that I am now 113th in line for Deathly Hallows. I have resisted the temptation to break down and buy it but really haven’t been paying much attention to other books.
Moon Pies and RC Cola evoke the rural south like nothing else and David Magee has written a worshipful history of the marshmallow/graham cookie snack. Originally just one of over two hundred varieties of baked goods marketed by the Chatanooga Baking Company, the Moon Pie came to be its most successful and only product. Much ink is devoted to paeans to eating moon pies as a child and intense discussion of the variations (single or double decker, chocolate, vanilla or banana coating) worthy of Bon Appetit. It was something amusing to peruse over a lunch hour, though Ron loved it.
Doing nothing constructive on my day off and anxiously waiting for Harry…
Hey, Alan–if you e-mail me your address, I’ll be happy to send you my copy of the book, if you return it when you’re finished.
