Harry Potter 7
How many of you have bought this book yet? I just got it and got to page 30, but couldn't carry on because I haven't read in so long it was hard, lol.
I already read all the spoilers too, but it's still the most compelling book I've read in like 2 years, and nothing has even happened yet.

I've been done for almost 24 hours now, I got it 9 hours before release because it was in my mailbox at the post office yesterday.
It was good. Some parts sucked.
I didnt like how a few things were done, it was like.. 7 books for that? But all in all, it was great and I cried.

No books seem good to me anymore for I have read the best book ever.*

Lol, I would have started when I was 4, but I could only read Biff & Chip books then.
@ThatOneMan
If you want you can read them, I think these are all badass books:
Alexander Trilogy (Mentioned above in super secret text, lol)
Holes (seriously, that is a good book)
The Boy who lost his Face (excellent)
Dogs don't tell jokes (ehh, it's ok. Definately worth the read though)
Harry Potter 3 (Best in the series)
Naughts and Crosses (I believe that is the correct spelling, I read it so long ago, but if my memory serves correctly, it's good)
Hmm... I'll think of more later I guess.
Oh yeah, read Harry Potter

Excuses. Ask your dad to get you that SI swimsuit, dads are usually proud for that. At worst, i'm sure one of us would buy it and mail it to you
Pardon my ignorance, maybe I'm just not familliar with the term, but I don't think I know what an SI swimsuit is.

Of course:

Also, Harry Potter isn't 'compelling', its a load of one sided characters.

SI is a men's magazine, period.
Playboy is cosmo for men, but with 1 centrefold.
Penthouse is for dirty old men.
If you haven't picked up a playboy in the past couple years, I suggest you do. It's not the magazine it used to be, it's a lot like cosmo.

tell that to this dude:
It may not be the longest book in the series, but "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" definitely packs the most punch. The drama starts on the first page and continues practically throughout the entire story.
With Book 7, Rowling brings her phenomenally successful series about the young wizard to a close. And what a close it is.
There were some complaints that Book 6 — "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" — didn't have a lot of action until the end, that its role seemed to be filling in important bits of back story and setting the stage for the final installment.
There will be no such complaints here. The pace picks up from the start, with readers thrown into a world that's much darker than any of the previous Potter books. Harry and friends Ron and Hermione are on a quest some weeks after the death of Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, and it's time to put aside familiar faces and places and get on their way.
Lord Voldemort, Harry's nemesis, seems to be everywhere, his tentacles of power reaching into every corner. It's a dangerous world they must travel, and no place or happy occasion is safe. Their journey takes them to some unexpected locations and makes them interact with a whole host of characters, including some who were merely references in other books and some who are painfully familiar faces.
Old antagonists from previous books show up — one of whom enters into a positive relationship with Harry, and another who continues to wallow in all the traits that inspired Harry's hatred.
Harry, Ron and Hermione are on the search for horcruxes, vessels that Voldemort created to hold pieces of his soul, which make it impossible to kill him as long as they exist. The search has them moving over various parts of the United Kingdom as they try to fit all the pieces together. Many secrets are finally revealed, all leading up to the ultimate confrontation between Harry and the wizard who tried to kill him so long ago.
Rowling captured many hearts with her first book, and her last is guaranteed to keep them. She is amazingly gifted, demonstrated not only by the incredibly detailed world she has created, but by the depth of feeling and complexity she writes into her characters.
It's all here: humor, courage, redemption, sadness, terror, human frailty — sometimes all in the same character. There are sections that will make readers laugh out loud, as well as scenes of such sadness that tears are inevitable.
From a boy of 11, Harry has become a young man, determined to take on quite a burden. He suffers because of his commitment, and he's not the only one. Rowling said characters would die, and she meant it. Pain and death are constant companions, and sometimes who is taken is a shocker. The deaths aren't always drawn-out, violent scenes; sometimes, you discover that someone has died at the same time Harry does.
Characters you thought you knew surprise you. Some grow in unexpected (and not always pleasant) ways, while others have more complicated pasts than you could ever imagine. No one's life is simple — with a couple of Death Eater exceptions, many of the characters prove that you can't make assumptions about people's motivations.
Rowling rewards her faithful readers; there are numerous allusions to people, places, spells and objects that were mentioned in earlier books. It's a pleasure to see how she closes the loop she opened so many years ago with the story of a young boy who one day discovered he was a wizard.
And, of course, she answers many questions: Why did Snape kill Dumbledore? Is Snape Harry's enemy? Where are the horcruxes? What are the deathly hallows?
It's been a long, long road to get to this point (the first book was published in the United States almost a decade ago), and Rowling does herself proud. She completes her entertaining, compulsively readable series with a book that is both heartbreaking and hopeful, one that left this reader sad to say goodbye to Harry but thoroughly satisfied at how it all went.
From "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" to "Deathly Hallows," Rowling has completed an astonishing cycle of books that can only be described as a true literary classic.

For children. You cannot compare a kids book to true literary classics that demand a much higher level of comprehension and reasoning skills.
Paradise Lost (which would be my all time favorite) > Harry Potter.

Have you read all the books? Maybe the first couple could be described as childish, but they pick up a lot more in book 5, 6, and 7. But I don't plan to get into a fight on this forum, it's pointless.

The first.. say.. 4 can be viewed as very childish, and if you're judging by only the first few books and the movies, you have no room to be talking at all.
I've been reading them for nine years, so I've grown up with them. I have to say, a lot of my theories were correct, and as much as I didn't like some of the couples at the end of the book.. well.. it was a fantastic ending to the series.

This epic has generally been considered one of the greatest works in the English language. Since it is based upon scripture, its significance in the Western canon has been thought by some to have lessened due to increasing secularism. However, this is not the general consensus, and even academics who have been labeled as secular realize the merits of the work.
He was a blind poet. He dictated the entre book to his daughters. Every night he would be "inspired by holy spirit" and it would motivate him to compose. Although I think being inspired by the holy spirit is BS, you can feel his passion and angst in every line in the novel.
The main protagonist of this epic is the fallen angel, Satan. Looked at from a modern perspective it may appear to some that Milton presents Satan sympathetically, as an ambitious and proud being who defies his tyrannical creator, omnipotent God, and wages war on Heaven, only to be defeated and cast down. Indeed, William Blake, a great admirer of Milton, and illustrator of the epic poem, said of Milton that 'he was a true Poet, and of the Devil's party without knowing it'[1]. Some critics regard the character of Lucifer as a precursor of the Byronic hero.
It's the origins of the Lucifer myth...
I bought the 2005 heckett version, a version with the original illustrations from the 1688 version - it's a popular version and is pictured on wikipedia and answers.com
It's worth investing in a good quality book if you're planning to read:
One who brings
A mind not to be chang'd by Place or Time.
The mind is its own place, and in it self
Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n.
What matter where, if I be still the same,
And what I should be, all but less then hee
Whom Thunder hath made greater? Here at least
We shall be free; th' Almighty hath not built
Here for his envy, will not drive us hence:
Here we may reign secure, and in my choyce
To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav'n.
But wherefore let we then our faithful friends,
Th' associates and copartners of our loss
Lye thus astonisht on th' oblivious Pool,
And call them not to share with us their part
In this unhappy Mansion, or once more
With rallied Arms to try what may be yet
Regaind in Heav'n, or what more lost in Hell?

Ahh, I see now that SI swimsuit is not an item of clothing (lol), rather a magazine.
MrFudge has some issues I think. He gets pissed off at anything he doesn't find manly, I think he's pretty damn insecure about his masculinity and sexuality.
