Harry Potter all the way. I admit. I'm a rabid fan, and have written everything from shipping theories on the subject, to death predictions, to fanfic.  I admit it.

I decided I was going to read the entire Bible in a year...some parts are very interesting, but I got hung up on the book of Numbers...anyone who knows about the Bible, that is totally near the front and all it is is "this tribe was called this and had this many memebers..." Something tells me if I actually got past the majority of the old testament I might enjoy it more...

I've heard of one of those.

Yeah, well, you're an ***hole for saying I make you sick. And it's funny how you get angry at me for being "narrowminded" when I am not being narrowminded but saying how you present yourself but if I were to call you narrowminded (which you are more often than I am), then you would get angry at me. Whoever said I was "inclusive" or "tolerant."??? Are you thinking I am someone else? I have opinions. I voice them. A favorite book is one you enjoy reading. The Bible is a good teaching tool and one that you can use as a reference book. But it is, by no means, enjoyable to read for pleasure. My problem with this is that people who say their favorite book is the Bible seem to me to be like the hypocrites God disapproved of: The ones who stood on the street an proclaimed their love for God simply for attention, not because they actually love God. Saying the Bible is your favorite book to an online community open to everyone in the world makes it seem like you want everyone to think you are absolutely wonderful and holy, etc. because you must be a better Christian than someone else who says Marx is their favorite. It's hypocritical and makes you sound obnoxious.

What a narrow minded thing to say. That isn't very "inclusive" or "tolerant." I would never question your enjoyment of Chomsky or Marx. You make me sick. I am in love with Atlas Shrugged. It is a capitalist's manifesto. It is the greatest book on the face of this earth. I am currently reading "Executive Orders" by Tom Clancy. An excelent book in the Jack Ryan series.

"Wasted" by Marya Hornbacher. Now there's a good book... But I'm not sure when I became so into phycology.

Yeah I like Watership Down a lot, I've read it at least three times. Has anyone read the sequel to it?
