| | | GoF makes unfinished fiction list
In a recent survey, 4,000 people in Great Britain admitted that they don’t finish half of the books they start to read – with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire making No. 2 on their top 10 list of unfinished fictional books.
Why don’t they finish reading? Nearly half stated they were “too tired.”  |

*sigh* That's pretty pathetic because the Goblet of Fire was a great book!

Where else could you find Harry Potter and Joyce's Ulysses next to each other?

Most people polled were probably adults who work full-time, which is understandable. I know the only time I have to read is on the bus on the way to lectures, and I'm only a student! And when I get in, all worn out, the last thing I feel like doing is more reading.
However, buying books for decorative purposes, is wholly offensive. Not just to readers everywhere, but also the environment.

Eh, to bad. I know some people who haven't finished it...rather haven't read it. They don't really like the series to be honest with you...

that's ridiculous! It's the best book in the series (next to HBP obviously), and the movie cuts out over half of it!
Edit: They should get off their lazy butts and read an awesome book

That's horrible!
I HATE to read but these books are great. I think I stayed up all night to read GoF when I first started getting interested in HP.
