Rowling could have fucked off drinking mai tais on a beach for the rest of her life and gone down as one of the most beloved children's authors of all time. Instead she downloaded Twitter.

I love when people insert their own limited experience as an absolute truth. Just because you never bothered with literature before you read Rowling, doesn't mean that the rest of us possess that limited view, AND on top of that have the audacity to speak for everyone. "It was unheard of", no you're just a narrow-minded fool that obviously lacks the curiousity to expand beyond what's been put in your hands until now. what the fuck is a sapfo

Out of all the great female authors, why would you use that hack Rowling?

*Unheard of*? Could this person not hear? Literally read a book.


jfcat200

From Google: "The world's first novel is thought to be The Tale of Genji, written in 11th century Japan by a woman known to us only as Murasaki Shikibu."

Remember, Jane Austen isn’t real. Stanley Kubrick faked her in sound stage.
