| | |  Philosopher's Stone "best read of the past 25 years"?
Philosopher's Stone, amongst many others books, has made it into the top 100 (38th) in a Waterstone's poll investigating the best reads of the past 25 years.
To vote for your choice, go here. Voting closes May 4th.
The UK and Ireland's favourite book of the last 25 years will be announced on May 16th.
Additionally Waterstone's, in conjunction with The Telegraph, are conducting the Great British Literary Census, to explore reading habits and also to gauge how excited readers are about the release of Deathly Hallows. | |

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

I took the census. Some of the questions could've had more options. Like the Shakespeare one; I agree he should be taught as a part of the curriculum but I don't agree that he's the most important writer ever. Other fantastic playwrights, such as John Webster, who was around the same time, often get overshadowed.

It's funny how PS is always voted into the things but none of the other books.
