I just got it today and I'm only on chapter 4, but so far it's good. The main character's dad was in American Gods. He's the one that wears yellow gloves and a white fedora.

Goblet of Fire. This one is so much longer than the first 3.

tom316 · **Posted:** Tue May 06, 2008 4:11 pm

and its the best in my opinion!

m921 · **Posted:** Tue May 06, 2008 4:13 pm

Is it really? I thought I liked The Prisoner of Azkaban quite a lot.

Fall on Your Knees By Ann Marie MacDonald

Not at all what i expected...the controversy and secrets make it so much better.
You all should read it.

I'm also reading Wolf at the Table By Augusten Buroughs very good as well.

i'm rather fond of [i:2rywk2ad]goblet of fire[/i:2rywk2ad], too. there are so many new characters!
mabel, i'm reading [i:2rywk2ad]the high king[/i:2rywk2ad] now. i'm about a third of the way through. i can't wait to find out what happens, but i'm sort of sad my adventures in prydain are coming to an end.

tom316 · **Posted:** Fri May 09, 2008 8:50 am

i love the big tournament between the three schools!

Suzi Misfit · **Posted:** Fri May 09, 2008 10:04 am

I just started reading The Areas Of My Expertise by John Hodgman. So far it is pretty funny.

m921 · **Posted:** Fri May 09, 2008 10:06 am

My friend tells me the same thing about The Goblet of Fire. It's her favourite too. She was the one who was a die hard fan while I rolled my eyes at her...

Dirty Frank · **Posted:** Sat May 10, 2008 10:44 am

I will start Agatha Christie's The Secret Of Chimneys.Just finished Stephen King's The Regulators.

I don't know why really,but i always liked The Prisoner of Azkaban more.The Goblet of Fire is my second fave though.

How are you getting on with it? It's a book I find I can only read a little of per sitting. Takes me a lot longer than most books, I think because it's so dense you can't rush though it. I've read it before, but it's been a very long time and I had forgotten just how many changes Peter Jackson made for the movie.

tom316 · **Posted:** Sun May 11, 2008 9:01 am

yeah its very dense! pretty intense sometimes how much information is in so little lines!
I just started the three's company chapter i'm enjoying it so far, its really great
I loved the films and have always wanted to read the books and only got around to it now

Turtle · **Posted:** Sun May 11, 2008 9:08 am

Ah you're coming up to a bit that is hugely different from the films, in fact chapters 4,5,6,7 and 8 are barely touched upon in the film at all. So there's gonna be a lot of new stuff for ya, won't spoil anything though.

In all honestyy, anyone who can get through the first chapter has my respect. It's the hardest part of the book to get through.

m921 · **Posted:** Sun May 11, 2008 3:03 pm

Lord of the Rings will be the next books I read after Harry Potter.

jaySLASH · **Posted:** Mon May 12, 2008 11:03 am

[i:jaose8hj]lord of the rings[/i:jaose8hj], for the win! it took me a long time to get through it, too; tolkien is very thorough with his geographical descriptions. i had a really hard time trying to picture all of it.

Black_Flag · **Posted:** Mon May 12, 2008 1:54 pm

i loved how precise he was.

i think new zealand was a superb choice of locales for the film, too. although i'm not sure i would have chosen it myself.

tom316 · **Posted:** Mon May 12, 2008 2:05 pm

when my sister went to new zealand she went on this tour thing which took them to hobbiton and some other places in the movie, i was so jealous when she told me. some of the places are beautiful in the movie !

where do you think you would have chosen to film it ?

Black_Flag · **Posted:** Mon May 12, 2008 2:09 pm

well, when i read it; [i:9cpd95p3]the lord of the rings[/i:9cpd95p3], i always imagined it to be like a medieval britain.

so... i guess somewhere like langdale?

jaySLASH · **Posted:** Mon May 12, 2008 2:50 pm

"hopes may rise on the grasmere, but honey pie, you're not safe here..."

i sort of assumed the same thing, about medieval britain, but i don't have any real frame of reference.

meatfilledpastry · **Posted:** Mon May 12, 2008 3:10 pm

I thought middle earth would've been a good place to film the movie.
