Wow, it's really nice that they did that, I hope it helped a lot! I've not read Persuasion, but I do love Jane Austen's works. I love that they are encouraging people to read as well.

As a Jane Austen fan, I would love the book Persuaion! Also, I could always use a new journal, though I'd probably never write in that one : )

I checked out the current bids. Alan Rickmans has the most bids and the highest price so far - and by a lot. Funny, I would have thought Daniel Radcliffe's would have gotten the most interest/highest price. I guess Alan Rickman's fans are older and have more money to spare!

Yow Wow! Great choice, Dan! Probably my favorite (non-HP) book. As for Alan Rickman's book, that one probably interests me even more as I have nearly 100 formerly blank books filled with journal entries for every day of my life for the past 19 years!!! (and, yes, it is a boring read, in case you were wondering!) Best of all it sounds like the proceeds from the sale of these books goes to a very worthy cause.

That's cool. It's so great that all the Harry Potter cast are so generous. It would be really nice to be able to afford one of those things.

Again I say, I think it is awesome that they can give back so much to society who made them what they are today. It rocks and is very admirable!

This is indeed quite awesome. I'm thrilled not only to see the support of such a worthwhile charity, but also to see the selections of the celebrities. Cool...I especially love Zoë Wanamaker's selection. I could never bid enough for such an auction...but I'll have to check out these books.

I like Catcher in the Rye. Good Choice Dan! It kind of seems to fit him too. Young boy, finding life. I am curious about Zoe's book - sounds a bit different.

It's always good to see celebrities who are not self-centered. It's always good to see these people who really want to help others. Watching events like these could push more people to volunteer.

That's great!! I think its awesome they are doing that! I love Alan Rickman's message with his book. very funny. it's good that they will do some things like that to prove that just because they are famous doesn't mean that they care.
