I listened to audiobooks of the last three Harry Potter novels and was blown away...especially by the last two.
I now see what all the hype was about...great writing. |

I haven't enjoyed reading as much as I used to a few years back, but someone picked this up for me for Christmas, and its been really entertaining to read, I usually get a good laugh every few pages. Im about almost done it, so I guess ill count it as the last good book ive read.

They didn't get really good until Book 3. Books 3, 6, and 7 were all fantastic works of fiction. |

"Wow" is all I can really say. |
I appreciate it, but it's just one of those things that does not interest me, as a matter of taste. Looking at a painting hardly interests me. I have also never been able to read cover to cover a fiction book, because it just bores the hell out of me. Which is why I read history, science, etc. Stuff that is based in facts.

That is more like debating what is truth when we don't know it. Quite different from knowing something isn't true. |

:o
How about people who read fiction read it out of the need to fill their otherwise boring lives with excitement, while people who read non-fiction already have plenty and seek to better themselves in their spare time?
