J.K. Rowling's new book, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, is now available for preorder and will be released on Dec. 4.  A collection of short stories, the book is actually Rowling's first, written before the Harry Potter series.  The book does have ties to the Potter series - it is supposedly the same book as the one willed to Hermoine by Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

So are you going to read the new book, or are you not interested?
