Ugh, I can't stand Harry Potter any more. He's become so extremely commercialized it's sickening. The books aren't even exceptionally good. They're just slightly above decent.
I know it's pretty typical, but as far as good books go, the absolutely best one I've read in my life is The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I think it's the only book I've read where I actually was relieved to still have a hundred pages of that godlike greatness left to read.
I'm a really lazy reader though.

"So I like climb out the window and I fall because we’re on the third floor , but it’s cool, because I land where my arm used to be, but it’s not there so it doesn’t hurt. And I’m thinking, yeah, man, this no arm thing is kinda chill."
The only books I read is the one I get asign in school like How to kill a Mockingbird, The Outsiders, Animal Farm, and acourse everybody had read harry potter. You grow to like some of the books you are asign after you just sit down and read them.
I am 'the same age' as Harry (he aged in realtime as the books came out, so I can safely say this), which would make me part of Rowling's ideal target group. As far as I know, that was her plan. But it would seem it kind of backfired, because I could hardly get past the fourth book, and I completely hated the fifth. I did like the first books, so yeah, I understand.

Yes! Another Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy fan! WOOT! AND who also liked Harry Potter for the first few books, but didn't like the last couple. The seventh one sucked so bad that I could (and have) rant(ed) about it for hours.
That's a very good book. Enjoyed got it read to (teacher reads the books to us in class - and we don't even need our books open. He's so easy going it pwns).

Dune
Dune Messiah
Children of Dune
God Emperor of Dune
Heretics of Dune
Chapterhouse Dune
It's my favorite fictional series of all time. I've read them all about three times. And I could talk about them for hours. Many critics regarded Dune as sci-fi's answer to Lord of the Rings, but I think Dune goes way deeper in literary theme than LOTR does.
I really just wanted to ask, is/Has anyone read(ing) the sword of truth series by Terry Goodkind?
The first few books are
Wizards First Rule
Stone of Tears
Blood of the fold
etc
There are around like 10-15 books in the series so far.
I read the first one and just recently started the second.

Yeah, I like that one, probably very close to my top spot.
