Harry Potter was two of those? And Terry Pratchett didn't get a book of his own there? That's just f'd up.

I'm about halfway thru HP&tHBP now.

My copy is lost somewhere in the house and I don't want to buy another one so I'm waiting to find it. That said, I like Harry Potter, but am not a fanatic, so it's not a big deal.

I just finished it.

I'll post some comments and I'll hide the spoilers behind a cut.
I'm not a fanatic either. I got all the novels, so far, but I've only read each one once, and I've seen all the movies, but only once. I don't have any of the DVDs yet. I want them, but I''m holding out for a box set of all of 'em.

Do you think my daughter is ready for The Catcher in the Rye? I had my stepson read it at 14 and he loved it. I'm just not so sure if the girl child is ready yet?

Nice list.

I read it as a freshman in high school, so 13-14? I think she would be fine.
