From Entertainment Weekly: "J.K. Rowling may be an acclaimed author, the queen of taking down trolls on Twitter, a screenwriter, and a philanthropist, but she's also (unsurprisingly) an avid reader.
Over the years, Rowling has recommended many a novel in interviews or on social media. From childhood favorites to all-time classics, the Harry Potter author's reading list is as varied as a box of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans. (We just hope there isn't an earwax-flavor novel equivalent.)
So why not pluck one of her recommendations from the shelf at your next bookstore visit? We can't guarantee characters as complex and charismatic as Harry, Ron, and Hermione will stroll into your head fully formed as a result, but at the very least it'll make for impressive conversation."
