Miss Heather at New York Shitty reports that Word Books is having an Adults Only Harry Potter party on July 20th. Here’s an excerpt.

Recently my buddy over at Word Books was in distress. She was perplexed by a rather snarky and peculiar quip Daily Intelligencer made about the sign she made advertising an “Adults Only” Harry Potter release party. She even asked me if I was responsible for this. I told her no. This is the truth.

I’ll be honest; I find the fascination some adults (especially middle-aged adults) have for Ms. Rowling’s body of work a little creepy. Not unlike Star Trek groupies who elect to exchange their wedding vows in Klingon. Both of the previous types of people are beyond my comprehension.

That said, I know damn well that I am in no position whatsoever to judge people for what they read because my reading habits are pretty fucking peculiar
in their own right. Sex workers and sideshow freaks are of particular
interest to yours truly. Regarding the latter, I recently finished a
book entitled “The Lives and Loves of Daisy and Violet Hilton.” I
purchased this book from (where else?) Word Books.
