I think they should have one rule for all book series' and stick to that. Otherwise it's not fair. So yeah, I agree.

I'm glad to see a HP book represented on the list. Several other books on the list are wonderful as well... Actually, I think I've read them all...

Well, to first comment on the topic, I'm not surprised that a Harry Potter is up there, but I wouldn't have put PoA there.
Secondly, I am very pleased with the top ten.
Thirdly, to the quoted comment. I'm not sure, but I think I remember hearing that LoTR was merged into one GIANT book and maybe that was what it was counted as. I could be wrong because Lord of the Rings is yet on my To Read: list.

Although I like POA, I still think that some of the other books in the series are better. Personally, I liked HBP better than POA. Quote:

I agree with Steelsheen... This is about the best series of all times and I don't think that they should seperate the books.

HP should definately be before Animal Farm but that is still really cool. PoA was always one of my favorite HP books
