I don't think HP is better, but it's different. I love HP, but to me, LotR is more mature. Both are good

HP is alright. I like the first book then they slowly get worse. Fifth is the worse though, in my opinion, but I still like the series
Its very much different from LotR, and LotR is a bit more heavy-reading than HP

Ugh, I'm reading too many books at the same time for my own good.
I'm reading E. M. Forster's A Room with a View. And I'm also reading Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. And on top of that I'm reading some lighter fiction, though the exact title has slipped my mind. I guess I'm trying to balance reading three books at once.
I'm also reading a bunch of theories about time/mind-travel from the tv show Lost, and that's confusing me much more than any literature!

Eww, we had to read A Room With A View in school, which really spoiled it for me. Unfortunately, I had to talk about it at my exam to, so now it's forever a trauma to me. However, i would really like to read Wuthering Heights. I've never read Brontë and I've heard she's good.
I'm reading The Ground Beneath Her Feet by Salman Rushdie - a divine book. The way the story unfolds is amazing.

Dante's Inferno for school still, but I've also finished The Giver, Gathering Blue, and Messenger by Lois Lowry. All quite juvenile I know, but I did enjoy them emmensely. It was a nice break from the usual school reading.

Currently read 'Polgara the Sorceress' by David and Leigh Eddings, which once done, will mean I've read all the Eddings available in my house

wuthering heights is amazing. every time i finish reading it i want to read it again straight away.
anyhow, at the moment i'm reading on the road by jack kerouac, disconnected (about youth culture in britain) by some idiot whose name has slipped my mind, and i'm also meant to be reading the illiad because my sister's boyfriend lent it to me.

^ it's not so much the fact that it's in verse that's a problem - it's the convoluted 16th century poetic syntax that's making things really tricky. maybe i should just find a different translation...

I just finished <i>Life As We Knew It.</i> Amazing, thought-provoking book that made me appreciate my life so much more.
Now to start... hrmmm... something in my GA Henty stack.
