Gah I have a lot of books. why do I have so many bloody books?
I have the Young Ones Book and Neil's Book of the Dead.
You wouldn't believe how many Garfield books I have.
And at least 3 times as many Calvin and Hobbes books...

huge piles of piers anthony nonsense from when I was younger...

and the cat books... oh the cat books... so many books of cats... and nudes... not nude cats... just big arty farty taschen style books of erotic photography...

Also I found a Molly Parkin book - I feel dirty...

I was too incensed by them being almost exactly the same as lord of the rings to remember anything else...

There were differences... but i do understand what you mean...

What i liked were the rediscoveries here and there that spoke of a more civilised time... much like Pern and the Dragons.

So why do you read Harry Potter ;)

I take it you never read Books of Magic :)

harry potter is enjoyable pap - utterly easy reading - I like anything that speaks of hidden worlds within the one we know - possibly why I liked magic kingdom.

plus I actually enjoyed the fact she was teaching kids about propoganda and politics in the later books. a nice bit of social concience.

But the genre of sci fi and fantasy has been all about politics and propaganda well before JK ;p

She did though do us all a favour and opened it up to a young audience...
