fnghghs, I even like Harry Potter, but it just feels so wrong to see it among such books. And Jane Eyre is actually a good novel, try reading it some time.

I'm disappointed in the end results, I can't believe LotR topped it even if it is as good as the die hard fans say, there were plenty of other classics there.

Why would a guy read a "Chick Book"

To get amusement from the religious fundamentalism?

Actually just finished reading "Jane Eyre" for one of my classes. Despite some of the fundamentalism and the fact that it's a chick book, it was a very good read. I highly reccomend it.

Then again, my reccomendations are worth no more than a copy of the ICS is to a die-hard Trekkie....

Hemlock will be happy about this too
