Great reviews!! re 266: I also love the Harry Potter books and, as you did, I picked up on many of the influences and have since discovered other references. I'm adding the Granger book to my wishlist. Have you read The Little White Horse, said to be J.K. Rowling's favorite ...

I've read all the Harry Potter books. They are okay (although Deathly Hallows was borderline, padded with way too much useless camping, and having a poorly thought out ending), but they are no better than a dozen other young adult series. To me, J. K. Rowling's books represent the ...

I have also started rereading Sorcerer's Stone. I needed a confort read and that is the first book that came to mind. I am putting my other reads aside for the moment.

Got started on my Sorcerer's Stone reread today. Isn't it great how that first sentence just completely transports you? This is actually the first time I've reread it since reading DH (last year I listened to the audio) and I started crying when Harry got Hedwig. I also truly never cease to be ...

... here) Prisoner of Azkaban: 4.42 Goblet of Fire: 4.35 Half-Blood Prince: 4.34 Order of the Phoenix: 4.19 Sorcerer's Stone: 4.19 Chamber of Secrets: 4.04 I'd note that generally, Rowling's works appear to be getting more popular the deeper she gets into the series

BoPeep in Hogwarts Express : What's your favorite HP book? (Ago 2, 2006, 3:18pm)

Probably Goblet of Fire, which just about tops Philosopher's Stone for me. Because I'm a Diana Wynne Jones fan I initially responded to the first book in a different way than I might have done (feeling the similarities to Witch Week and Charmed Life rather keenly), but over time I've ...

Like CanBeBribed, I tend to see the series as a whole. But if I had to pick, I'd say Half Blood Prince and Sorcerer's Stone are my favorites so far.

I avoided them because they were kid's books, but then my sister handed me Sorcerer's Stone and I was hooked. So hooked in fact, that I read Prisoner of Azkaban before Chamber of Secrets because my sister was reading it, and I couldn't wait for her to finish it.

Same here. I resisted my entire family's urgings until Goblet of Fire was out. Then on a family trip we listened to Sorcerer's Stone in the car, and I was bowled over by Jim Dale's performance. After that, I had devoured the other three books within a week or two. And yes, after seeing the ...

... are so varied- therefore, the non-historical books become the most commonly shared. As for why The Demolished Man and A Fire Upon the Deep and not, say, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and The Da Vinci Code? Maybe Bester and Vinge fans just like primary material? One ...
