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. :)
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.
"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.
