Hey Imran, Because of you......
I read the first Harry Potter book.
I though it would be to, young, for me, I'm 35.
I actually enjoyed it.
Not the best book I've ever read, by far, but my step-son has the second and third at his fathers house, I'm gonna get them from him and read them also.
I might even buy the new installment.
You abviously aren't quite as childish as I thought.
 ACK!

They are great books... as they go on and on they get more 'adult' and scary.

I'm reading it at night to Bunnygrrl, one chapter at a time. Imran's correct, they do get better and better. I think four was better than five though.

I actually loved five. It was the book where Rowling didn't give a damn about making Harry 'lovable' and took a chance with making him annoying and teen-like. I loved that.
I could see how some could not like it.
Why are you reading it to Bunnygrrl? She ok?!!

That's Hermione and no. Hermione and Ron look like they'll get together though.

She's fine. It's just something fun to do together. I read her the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Chroncles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox, the Amber Chronciles, and I tried readin the Elric of Melneabone stories, but I was never really into it.

Nope. I'm the daddy. 
Actually, that's not true. I was really tired once, ans she read the chapter instead of me.

I think my sister would like books
but she doesn't read very fast and it makes her tired her out
I think that some of the reason why I do like reading so much is that I read so fast
I have read over 2000 pages in a day (and these were small words and the like)

It might take her while to finish the last few then... the 5th was 850+ pages, IIRC.

Ooh, nothing better then internet love stories. Did you meet on Apolyton? How romantic!
Just kidding. No hard feelings. I shouldn't be talking, because I've never had a girlfriend in my life. [not sure which smiley or 'frowney' to use there]
Anyway, I read the first 4 and they are pretty good but I'm kind of at the age where they aren't very good. It can't compare to Lord of the Rings or a classic or anything.
Speaking of good books, has anyone read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn? I've never read a book or seen a movie that changed my life, but that book is as close as you can get. It is changing the way I view life.

Bilbo Baggins, your Ring is evil. In a couple decades, we'll try to destroy it. In the meantime, leave it for Frodo to play with.
Bilbo Baggins
It's not evil. It's mine. My precious. Mine! MINE, I TELL YOU!! MOOHOOHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
(Frodo takes it to RIVENDELL. Some FRIENDS come with him. They are attacked by black riders a LOT, and it is SCARY.)
Elrond
Frodo Baggins, if Sauron ever gets this Ring, the world will be destroyed, and evil will reign forever. We must act quickly. Take the Ring to where he lives.
(They do some travelling. Some more FRIENDS come with him. Gandalf DIES in the mines of Moria, but will later be RESURRECTED in GLORIFIED form having triumphed over EVIL, an obvious literary ALLUSION to that movie where the guy comes back as a DOG.)
Boromir
Frodo Baggins, give me the Ring.
Frodo
No.

I am currently about 300 pages into The Goblet of Fire.
I read the second and third books in about a 2 days each, football and work taken into account.
I actually went and bought the fourth because her writting is very enjoyable and paced so that it isn't boring.
My stepson, who never even opened the books up, has also read the first and is reading the second.
My feeling is that, being 12, he thought they would be too childish for him, but after seeing me read them he's really gotten into them.
Hopefully, he will get the reading bug from this, otherwise I may have to break out some Encyclopedia Brown.
ACK!
