Most borrowed book

LONDON: Magical fantasy is in, working class hardship is out. British readers have made a Harry Potter title the nation's most borrowed library book, ending a lengthy reign by Catherine Cookson's novels of 19th century poverty and romance, according to data released on Friday. J.K. Rowling's `Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets', the second book in the series about the boy wizard, topped the lending list for the year ending in June 2002, said Public Lending Right, which tracks public library use.
