This is a fun thread. It is amazing the similar lines that most of us seem to be following.

Reading is stretching the mind and (in my ever so humble opinion) books are almost always better than the movies. I seldom go and see a movie made out of a book that I really enjoyed....I almost always get disappointed.

I haven't reviewed all the books to check, but the Harry Potter books are also a fun (if friviolous) read, especially now that they are all available for a one time read... again the movies don't come close.

So many books, so little time!
