Dan Radcliffe is the coolest kid ever because he donated a copy of Catcher in the Rye - one of the greatest books ever. He continues to impress me. I hope that the books fetch a good dollar (or pound, I suppose) to help out with those charities. It's quite cool of them to help out. I wonder how much they'll go for?

I like Alan Rickman's idea of the empty journal. That's really cool. And what he wrote in it is awesome. :) Dan Rad is so cool. Haha. I love Catcher In The Rye.

Again, I think it is wonderful for celebrities to aid worthy causes. I like the added feature of them donating their favorite books.

I particularly love the donation of a blank journal - and by Alan Rickman, too! I'd buy that (if I could, hehe). I love how anyone attached to Harry Potter, the books or the movies, all seem to be very kind and generous. I think that is wonderful, and seeing things like this just confirms that impression.

Catcher in the Rye is a good book. Although, i heard that when cerial killer are asked what thier favorite books are, ti's always cathcer in the Rye. I don't think i'm going ot be a killer though. I think my point is, that it's good dan know's other good books.
