Books arrived (BtB, BtB-de, ISOH)
The books have arrived!

Both the tales of Beedle the bard (both "Translated from the original runes by Hermione Granger by J.K. Rowling" and "Joanne K. Rowling ... Aus den ursprünglichen Runen übertragen von Hermione Granger und aus dem Englischen übersetzt von Klaus Fritz) and Steve Vander Ark's In search of Harry Potter arrived a few minutes ago.

I'll report back once I have read them.

Now I know what I'll read this weekend ... :-) ... .

But before starting to read: I'll have to have some lunch, and to finish preparing for teaching next Monday ... .

And, yes, well: To have the rumours about an accord between JKR/WB and RDR/SVA and a rumour about a press conference concerning such accord on the same day that these 3 books did arrive: This stresses the concept of Aristotelian chance to the point where it almost becomes Humean causality ... .

And: yet an other coincidence: Until some 20 seconds ago: somebody at an open (though unseen by me) window was continuously singing "venite adoremus" ... :-) ... .

When you are finished reading, you might be interested in this link to discussions of each section and story of the book. John Granger and a few other writers are involved:
