Bleak House looks interesting, but 900 pages is way to long. Enders Game looks okay but I'm not really a fan of Sci-Fi books. I prefer mystery or thriller or adventure books.DJG24992How about reading the begining of the series by Ian Rankin? His books fall into all those categories.

for real. i found many parts in Harry Potter to be rather boring.
It's hard to go wrong with Gettysburg, Neuromancer, Dune, or Shogun.
Do you have any specific length of genre in mind?

Last one especially. The ending SUCKED.tell me about it. i ahted the last book but loved the first 2. Harry Potter does have a pretty interesting idea. but it just doesn't deliver as a fantasy franchise overall. i think Philip pullman is far more imaginative.

Hell yes. If it was a bit more destructive it would have been an improvement. I didnt feel sad for the people who were killed at all. I may be an emotionless robot though.Agreed.

JK Rowling doesn't have enough loyalty to her characters.

Funniest book ever. I read it in one day, it was so engrossing.

I dont know why but i really hate this book, it seemed to ramble on and on, and i just got tired of it a i was done.
Alas,Babylon by Pat Frank is pretty good. Its about a post apocalyptic America in the 60s. CommanderShiro

I second this statement. If there ever was a book that you couldn't put down no matter how hard you tried, this is it.
