clipped from: www.pennystockinsider.com Whether you’re interested in sports, automobiles, the stock market or macramé wall hangings, everything took a back seat last week to the publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the last installment of J.K. Rowling’s magnum opus.
Even before the book was published at 12:01am on Saturday July 21 though, the worldwide literary community (and revenue hungry publishing houses) was on the lookout for “the next Harry Potter”. Who would take up the torch and set the book club world on fire?
While there are a number of literary hopefuls out there more than willing to be given the moniker “the next J.K. Rowling”…the truth is, there never will be another J.K. Rowling. We’re still on the look out for the next Ernest Hemingway and Flannery O’Connor. Sure, other cultural phenomenons will present themselves, but no one will ever storm the same path that Rowling did.
