Look. We get it. You're an amazing writer. You've inspired billions of children to become interested in reading. You've given us a literary icon for the ages. But come on, J. K. Rowling, isn't it enough already?

Apparently not.

The Harry Potter author is back and writing. This time, it's a collection of fairy stories called "The Tales of Beetle the Bard." But here's the kicker: only seven copies will be published.

That's right. Seven. Do you know how many copies of the different Harry Potter books were sold? I don't know either, but it was was more than seven. Like seven plus multiple millions. So it's likely that you won't get to read it.

One copy of the work is going to be auctioned off, and the others are going to be given as gifts.

Now that's just greedy.

J. K. Rowling, if you insist on writing instead of relaxing (I envision her diving into her millions of dollars ala Scrooge McDuck), at least have the decency to share your work with the rest of us. Now you're just showing off! Not that I'm bitter or anything.

Is anyone out there interested in reading the new work from Rowling? And what would you pay to get your hands on "The Tales of Beetle the Bard"?
