Hey Klaus, I think that if I read AF, my list would be EXACTLY the same as yours. Actually, the first two I'm going back and forth with. I think as far as books go, I like HP better, just because it's easier and a lot less, um, deep? It focuses more on the story than anything else. Tolkien has a tendency to describe a place for about 50 pages, everything from the direction the wind is blowing to the exact amount of water in a fountain (exaggeration, I know). LotR movies are better than HP though. I dunno, I'm toggling between them. One thing's for sure, though, they both rock my world!

Yeah, that's one of the major things I don't like about Tolkein. That, and reading his books makes me feel like I'm reading. "Hobbits: a History"  |

We should definately stay on topic. Actually, as The Moderator (*giggle* That's my name! Don't wear it out!), I demand that we stay on topic! *Places hands on hips and looks everyone in the eyes* Understood? Good! Then fortheward with the on-topic conversation! ;D

*Coughs* Did I or did I not say "on-topic"? <-- rhetorical question Okay, I'll start us off: I happen to love Harry potter. Read the first book on Christmas of '98. I was too young to appriciate it, though. 3 years later, when everyone and their dog had read at least the first book, I became a fanatic. The end. Epilogue: Several months after the release of HP1 (the movie) I became obsessed with Sev Snape. And Alan Rickman. But, personally, I feel that Rickman was a bad choice to play Snape. But I still love them both. As seperate people. *Huggles Alan and Sev* (Alan: Saaaave us!
Me: Quiet, you!)*Ahem* Sorry. Now I'm off-topic. I think Harry Potter is very good.  |
