So far I'd rate them:

Order of the Pheonix - Cause the ending is epic! It really made up for Harry's constant whining throughout the whole book.

Sorcerer's Stone - Cause the world was so new.
Azkaban - Cause of Sirius
Chamber of Secrets
Goblet of Fire

I saw that chest at a bookstore, but it was 200 bucks, way to much. Just been borrowing them from my aunt.

Yowch. Paid about $90 for it on Amazon closer to Christmas. Too good a deal to pass up. Especially being hardcover.

My ratings:

Deathly Hallows
Goblet of Fire
Half Blood Prince
Order of the Phoenix
Prisoner of Azkaban
Chamber of Secrets
Sorcerers Stone

I finished the Deathly Hallows last night. Wow, what a ride. Amazing book. I just finished reading all of the Q&A's asked to J.k. about the book/characters. Lots of good detail about things we all wanted to know. I am just feeling really down about it being done. I am back to having nothing to do at home besides cleaning. And I'm not quite in the mood to start a new book or book series. I want to give time for HP to sink in. I'm enjoying it too much to sway. Guess I'll just start again!

Did you read Beedle the Bard yet? The short story (I think) she wrote after Deathly Hallows?

There's another one also cause I remember I bought them both for my girlfriend at the time but never paid attention to what they were.

Oh, and this:

I haven't read them yet, but they've been in my amazon cart for a while now. Going to buy them once this dang Gentle Giant bust thing slows down. It's kind of hit us hard once we sat down and saw how many we bought, lol.

Finished the Coldfire trilogy and just started reading Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistborn_series

Mistborn was recommended to me. You'll have to post a follow up about how you liked it. I'm so backed up on my reading list that I'm really loathe to add anything new.

Some of you guys must be really fast readers or you read a lot! I'll read more this summer, but right now I usually can only get through a chapter a day. Too many other things keep me busy.

I'm the same. Two chapters a day at the most, but I just read slow. Haha

I do tend to read alot, every night before bed and during my lunch break at work. I get through about a book a week. I used to have alot more time to read in college and could read 3 books a week. I miss those days.

[The Ringer]

Can anyone recommend any good crime thriller books?

 

[Agent0028]

I really enjoy John Sandford's Prey series. His Virgil Flowers series is great too. I also love Jeffrey Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme series. They focus more on forensics.

I'm reading the first book in Bernard Cornwell's Richard Sharpe series, Sharpe's Tiger. I love Cornwell's books. He really makes historical fiction exciting while keeping it historically accurate.

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

Just finished the Deathly Hallows... all I can say is... wow! I finally get it.

 

[Agent0028]

Welcome to the club.

I just started a biography of Tesla.

Tesla fascinated me so much that I was going to go into physics. I took two years of it in high school and a full year in college.
