What's your favourite book aside from the Trilogy?
Mine is the Fountainhead and sorta the Da Vinci Code. It's cool

Um, probably a tie between Dune and the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is actually my favorite book.

Ptolemy got kicked down to the number two spot.

Yes, I like it better. I grew up with Harry Potter.

And Harry, unlike Nat, survived.

Poor Nat . . .


Also, I like the Obsidian Trilogy, The Stravaganza series, and Calvin and Hobbes. :gladstone:

Calvin and Hobbes were good...except I grew out of them.

How can you grow out of Calvin and Hobbes!?

Hobbes is brilliant, though.

It's such an amazing book, I cried my eyes out...even Oprah likes it. And the Baltimore Sun called it: "A mixture of classical tragedy perfectly imbued with film noir"

And the movie's got Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly.

Or Mad Shadows by Marie Claire Blais.

Edit: And The beach by Alex Garland
I'll say what everyone thinks I'll say: Lord of the Rings.

I like a lot of books, actually at the same level as LotR, but I ain't typing them now.

It was happier than PG, and inspired hope and warm fuzzies in me.

So, despite admitting Stroud's writing is better, I like JKR's ending and plotline a little better.

Uh huh. But who actually uses the word 'ship' to mean only a friend or a family member? Go proclaim your love of the "Ron/Ginny ship" all over the hp fandom and see what you get. You're gonna get either "EWW" or "MMM YEAH SEXAY."

Meh. I thought it was a little overdosed.
