Tunnel in the Sky by that same author (Heinlein) is pretty good too.

I thought there was already a fourth Septimus Heap.

EVERYONEs read HP.....

any of youall read the stravaganza trilogy..waiting for the 3rd book to come out..[most probably has already come out and hasnt released in india yet... ;) <_< ]

Yeah, I've read Stravaganza. The third one's been out here for years - 2 or 3 at least. I liked them, but they weren't the best. Nothing to get too fussed up about.

I haven't. I don't like Harry Potter.

How do you know if you haven't read it?

Because, I have a bad gut feeling about it, and I trust my guts, ecspecially when they tell me not to do something.

That reminds me of a great Stephen Colbert quote, but I leave it to Luciene.

Sadly, I don't get feelings like that. I must rely on my friends and family to inform me on whether installing a flamethrower on a portable scooter is a good idea.

But sometimes they encourage me for laughs (leads to comedic and disturbing episodes)

Do you guys actually try to go off of topic, or does it just happen naturally?

Happens naturally.

Harry Potter is mediocre.


I read To Kill a Mockingbird a while ago, it's brilliant.

Yes, I really like that book. Harper Lee should have written more books

ya i was planning to read it sometime...what is it about?is it fiction?

It's not fantasy.

It's about racial prejudices and stuff. You'll like it, despite the pathetic review i just gave.

Atticus Finch is the best character ever. Figuratively.

Atticus was awesome.

I still like Snowball the pig better.

I should read the book and watch the movie too.
I can't say I hate Harry Potter, but at least I don't like it to the point where I memorize spells like one of my old friends. ;)

That's just it. It doesn't deserve that sort of popularity. You'd think it's a Casablanca or something. It isn't.

There's this guy im my class who walks around with a wand replica. And has named every single class with its Hogwarts counterpart. And he too has memorized all the spells, and "uses" them on people. Instead of using the perfectly fine English swears and obceneties like everyone else does, he uses ones from the book, calling poeple, "flithy muggles" and such.

Never really talked to him. Except today I asked him if he's ever heard of the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathon Stroud.

He replied, "No, but it sucks."

Figures.
