After Gordon Brown takes over as Prime Minister on 27 June (29 days away), he has revealed that, far from bothering with organising his Cabinet or trying to run the country:"one of his first acts as prime minister will be to read the final Harry Potter book.I really would have though that, considering there is nearly a month between when he will become PM and the publishing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is published on 21 July, just three weeks after Mr Brown succeeds Tony Blair." (BBC)
he would have done plenty of stuff in that time, especially considering how long he has had to plan it all!But then it seems not. Instead he will be reading: The Widow and Her Hero
by Thomas Keneally, The Assualt on Reason
by Al Gore, and Englebyby Sebastian Faulks, along with J. K. Rowling's new book. I'm looking forward to Harry Potter Book 7 too - but it's not going to be one of the "first things" I do between 27 June and 21 July!
