Nothing really even comes close to Bartimaeus's standards. Artemis Fowl book 1 did. But the series is on the slide.
Harry Potter is crap. Eragon is crap. Kinda of sets you wondering about other people's IQs...
Oh, and don't Lynch me, but LOTR has out lived it's time (100 years!)
Non fiction: can anyone beat Da vince code or Angles and demons? War and Peace was good...

The first Artemis Fowl was brilliant. I still read them, but once I've started a series, I struggle not to finish it, unless it's really dire.
LOTR isn't that old. Closer to 50 years.
Also, whether you like the books or not, their authors' IQs have nothing to do with it.
I agree they aren't bad books, and they're very neatly written so there's a cliffhanger at the end of every chapter, but they aren't classics.
Anyone here read The Truth Machine?

I'm reading WICKED right now. Pretty good book so far, even though I've never seen or read the Wizard of Oz.

LOTR's current vertion is 50 year old. The original was composed in the aftermath of world war I (Tolkien completed it during the blitz.) Which was somewhere around 1910 right? So: 95 years.
Okay, wrong choice of words.

I've read Opal Deception. Could have been worse.
WW1 was 1914-1918. But the Blitz was in WW2, and LOTR was written in WW2, according to every source I've heard.

Penrenutet and I like Tamora Pierce though I highly doubt any of you have read any of her books.
