Bought this book after Tony Kornheiser, some many years ago, guaranteed that if you bought this book and read it, and didn't like, he would refund your money personally.

It is nails.

Any choose your own adventure book rocked growing up.  Turns out, I make some damn fine choices (as long as I don't turn the page completely). 

Also Vonnegut and Bukowski.

And I'm not sure why she was filed under "Edgar Allen Poe" but she'd make the list though she looks more like a bit of nonfiction to me:

Harry Potter.

All of them or just the first one?  What order would you rank them?

Chronicles of Narnia & Lord of The Rings >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Harry Potter

Lewis and Tolkien are actual authors, Rowlings is just basically a glorified soap-opera script writer.

My sister in law is a school teacher and was reading the HP books to her class.  She said they were so good she would take them home and finish them before reading them to her class.  May have to read.  I'm def. not a book snob, you know?

I don't exactly blame religious people. The thought of religion is comforting, even is it makes zero sense.
