I hereby nominate Jason Gay

I hereby nominate Jason Gay for the Vernon Dursley award for his satiracal comments in a recent New York Observer piece:

Everybody in New York wants to be a kid again. Ride the subway, and what do you see? Thirty-year-old bankers and 26-year-old assistant editors squinty-eyed, obsessing over Harry Potter books. “They’re really good,” they protest. So what! Cotton candy’s really good, too! They’re kids’ books! Doesn’t anyone read Darkness at Noon anymore?

I have to admit, Mr. Gay does have a point about many of us not wanting to grow up (Harry Potter fans included!) However it’s obvious that if Mr. Gay read the books himself he wouldn’t make such comments. Let him know how good they are.
