	Jonathan Stroud 1. Queezle - Her name doesn't come from anywhere, I don't think. I just made it up! It was kind of meant to make her sound nice. I feel a bit sorry that I killed her off so fast; she is an interesting character. Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do — but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it.

It would be much easier to know when we have reached 100 and it would be simpler to put them in order too. 17) Ender's Game 18) Brave New World 19) Shakespeare's Julius Caesar I strongly back the third choice.

Foliot Posts: 105 Group: Magicians Member #4,632 Joined: February 3, 2008 Gender: Male Favourite Book: Ptolemy's Gate	Apollo Jan 30 2010, 12:47 AM I hope this isn't supposed to be an actually list; if so, our list is broken. Brisngr is definitely not better than 1984. I agree. I wouldnt put Birsingr as numero uno. But I just think we're listing 100 books, then putting them in order.

That one is a masterpiece! I had even memorized all the speeches and stuff.
