Slight disagreement, I am afraid.  Of the seven Harry Potter books, my favorites are 3, 4, and 5--in that order.  2 is my least favorite.

But 3...  The time-travel Azkaban tale is just brilliant.

ooo it's a difficult one to say which is the best.  I haven't seen any of the films so my judgement is based purely on the books.  I love the first one but it's more of a scene setter and no that deep in terms of actual plot.  If I had a gun to my head I'd say the Goblet of Fire was my favourite.

On recommendation from a friend I added another book to my reading list last night - Me Before You by Jojo Moyes.  It's a bit chick litty which isn't usually my favourite genre but I couldn't stop reading it last night - it's a definite page turner even if it's a bit of "bubblegum for the brain".

The Last Unicorn comics.  :)
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

The last two works of fiction I've read were The Mists of Avalon (Marion Zimmer Bradley) and The Lost Sisterhood (Anne Fortier). I loved both, and it's probably no coincidence that they both expanded my thinking about religion right before I found myself seeking membership to this board.
My opinions change with new information.

"Did Muhammad Exist?: An Inquiry into Islam's Obscure Origins"  by Robert Spencer.  It seems that Islam is built on even shakier historical foundations than Christianity.  The book is a bit turgid and at times it's like swimming through treacle, however it's seriously researched stuff and the conclusion amazed me.

The Peoples Republic Of Amnesia. A book about the people of China who have deliberately and willfully forgotten the Tianamen incident as well as much of their other recent past tribulation.
