Misc.

A couple of miscellaneous items for you today. Anne Rice has moved out of her New Orleans house to the suburbs. The house is up for sale and can be yours if the price is right, $3.75 million right. From the sound of the article those who made money off Rice's presence are sad to see her leave. Her neighbors on the other hand seem rather relieved. I have never read anything by E.L. Doctorow but John Leonard's New York Review of Books article has inspired me. Don't look for me to have anything about his books here soon though. I might get one or two of them but they will go into my bedside pile to be read at a later date. And finally, The Guardian reports the latest Harry Potter news and J.K. Rowling now has her own website.
