Yes, they were rolls. Not sheets taped together as I had heard and posted above. He used teletype paper which came in rolls.

Your answer prompted me to google JK on Wikipedia, he certainly led an eventful life,thanks for the prompt.

I'm wrapping up Sir Anthony Hopkins' new autobiography. It's a very nice read, and he's very philosophical and introspective. He includes some of his favorite poems at the end, and it gives me new appreciation for poetry. Lots of wisdom in the book, from a life well lived.

I'm not a big movie guy but he has always seemed like a wise man and very intelligent.  I sometimes see things online attributed to him that usually strike me as common sense and not typical Hollywood fluff.  I didn't realize he had written a book.  Glad you enjoyed it.  I love good bios and memoirs. 

And since you mentioned poetry, I've been reading quite a bit from Walter de la Mare and my old favorite Longfellow.  I just ordered a new copy of Longfellow (forget Amazon, buy books on eBay) since my old one from the 1800s is literally falling apart at the seams. 

On audiobook right now for is a reread of CS Lewis's THAT HIDEOUS STRENGTH.  Probably my seventh or so go-round with it.  I cannot express how much I love this novel.
