Description
Thirty minutes later, I walked into the lobby of the Empire State Building...
I went up to the guard at the front desk and said, "Six hundredth floor.”
He was reading a huge book with a picture of a wizard on the front. I wasn't much into fantasy, but the book must've been good, because the guard took a while to look up. "No such floor, kiddo.”
"I need an audience with Zeus.”
~The Lightning Thief
LOOK! IT'S AN ALLUSION TO HARRY POTTER!
CoughCoughCough
By the way have any you noticed the amount of times Riordan uses the name Leroy? In both Percy Jackson and the Red Pyramid.
All Percy Jackson and the Olympians goes to Rick Riordan
All Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows goes to JKR

What I love is the fact in The Lightning Thief the person in the lobby is (well I think so anyway) reading Harry Potter and Rick makes a reference to 'it must've been pretty good as the person didn't look up immediately'. In The Last Olympian the person's reading a black book with a flower on the front (New Moon?) and he doesn't say anything about the quality of the book then

Haha I didn't notice that one

And please do! Leroy is amazing

Technically the book could also be Lord of the Rings or another fantasy book, but Harry Potter was the first thick book with wizards that I thought of

True... but it's also funny how harry looks a bit like percy (hair, eyes) and then the guy is reading the book....

lol XD I never thought about that.

YES! "I seriously was hoping he would say something like "No! That's our huge friend, Leroy! He's going to help us!"-Percy, and then Leroy the Set Monster. I WAS HOPING SOMEONE ELSE WOULD NOTICE THAT!

Its such an unusual name too. It's not like 'Mike' or 'Sam' that are a dime a dozen. But I'm guessing that's the point.
