However, I've read the 3 Lord of the Rings books and The Hobbit. I've speed through the full Hitchhikers series and am eagerly awaiting the realise of the last Harry Potter book. I did get C.S.

I don't blame the author, it was well written and quite the story, the trouble is the genre itself. I can't do fantasy, and I think there are others who will agree.

I am never one to follow the crowd, and I don't ask others to, either. <BR/><BR/>However, you SHOULD read C.S. Lewis - the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe SERIES (see, it's a series).
