| i just finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.A cool book,recommended to be read by everyone. |
I got to tell you that I also read the Deathly Hallows and it disappointed me terribly...  |
Please don't say too much about it! As the dad of an energetic toddler, I rarely find free time to read, so I just recently finished "The Order of the Phoenix"  . I want to enjoy some lighthearted comedy pulp fiction before jumping back into "The Half-Blood Prince" hopefully over the winter holiday season. |

Hi Bob!
Okay, I won't say much... I don't like spoilers either... Harry Potter series are part of what we know as light literature, right? But the books are enternaining and are a nice way to learn more English. When I began them I was small, about 8 years old, so I liked them a lot. Now, I expected more from them, but I had to remember what they were written for...
I liked the Half Blood Prince the best. I think that one will always be my favourite from the series. Have fun reading it!
Right now I'm reading Utopia by Thomas More. It's quite interesting.
Good bye guys!

I just finished "into the wild" by krakauer. After that I watched the movie.
The book made a profound impression on me, what a person he must have been. The movie was also good but not on the same level as the book, it felt a bit pretentious and contrived at times.
Worth seeing or reading though! |
