Sorry, didn't want to read 5 pages of HP speculation by rabid fans (I'm assuming), BUT, I think the the HPB is going to be completely new character. Also, I think the character Rowling described in her website- the one with the liony mane and stuff- is probably Felix Felices- (because felix...

I read Frakenstien, AND I HATED IT! I've never hated a book like that before. It was so annoying. And it didn't have any of those cool "It's aliveeee!" scenes either. All it was was this ********** idiot who SOMEHOW, MAGICALLY, creates a living thing, and after that it's 200 pages worth of "Oh...

Read classics! They're not boring, I swear! Ok, here are some popular classics that are flashy and unboring, that, I just by-god-know, you will like: -'Brave New World' and '1984' (both somewhat similar, though 1984 'goes into it' a lot more. -'Lolita' - come on...it's all controversial and...

I like it best of the series, and I think the ending was very nice. The writing, as some said, might have been sloppier because the author said that there was a huge plot hole the first time she finished the book, and she might've just covered it up with mulch. Still very enjoyable. Winky will...

Haha, well, I don't hate it as much as your do, Dermotjpr, but I never see anybody pointing out the arch-conservatism in those books. They were written by an old, old guy [and most old guys are old-fashioned and old-traditioned], and I don't understand how people can expect kids (or anybody who...

Used them when I was starting out. They are nice if you have no idea of what to read, but also kind of fun. (checking off all the ones you've read and stuff) Here: For classics- http://www.randomhouse.com/modernlibrary/100bestnovels.html [modern library's list]...

Robert, you didn't strike a nerve, Jay just always has that stick of hard, dried diarreah up his ass. Jay, seriously now, how many failed books did you really write? As for required reading, I think required reading should be taken into CONSIDERATION once a person is about 30 years old. Most...

Haha. It's always fun to see little angsty teenagers go on and on about how wonderful Holden's character is, and how they are exactly like him, etc, etc. I thought the book was really good, actually. I liked Salinger's style, and he obviously wants us to notice double-natured-ness of the...

Oh, I love the Harry Potter books. I think everyone should give them a try because they are all go very fast. It's a fantasy series, and does its job very well. Those who complain about the writing style...I would say that the attention is not toward poetry but more toward escapist plotting and...
