Top Seven Lists Series-Books

[walkwithheroes]

A series of top seven lists.

No top ten lists for me. Instead, I use my favorite number, number seven. Top seven books, movies, shows, songs, quotes, characters, ships, crack!ships, etc.

First Up: Books.

Enjoy.




Books: (I can read these over and over and...)

1.Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
2.The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander
3.The High King by Lloyd Alexander
4.Hitchhiker's Trilogy by Douglas Adams (ok, it's five books. sue me)
5.One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
6.Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
7.Harry Potter and the Half-blood Price by J.K. Rowling

Note: Yes, I know there are three books between The Book of Three and The High King but, those two are my favorites.

I think I like it so much because it makes me laugh and gasp. All the kids running around, all crushing on one another. And Harry spending the whole book with a the green eyed monster iin his stomach? Great stuff. lol.

I'm Snape=Good. To me, it seems like Snape made a promise that Draco wouldn't kill anyone or go all the way into being Lord V. worshipper. 'Cause you're not coming back from that. I think Sanpe was just fulfilling a promise.

I'm with you there. I've read so many theories I don't even remember what's real anymore... But I like the idea [if it's not canon] Dumbledore made Snape take an Unbreakable Vow, thus explaining his deepest trust in Snape. Anyways, I think if JRK made Snape evil, she'd be reducing him from this complicated, interesting and dynamic character, and reducing him to a cardboard cut-out. And as far as I can see, she doesn't seem to be in that practice.

haha and the Harry/Ginny thing... well, I had to love that. Especially Ron's little: "if you must" thing.

oh wow. that mini-rant's been bottled up for a while. sorry I took it out on you. ^__^

I totally agree with you. Snape must have taken a couple of Unbreakable Vows in his time. Which is why he did what he did.

I'm not a fan of Harry/Ginny, but I thought Harry's jealous was a laugh. Yup, Harry's sixteen and he got hot for his best friend's kid sister. lol.

Excellent!

Neverwhere is definatly one of my favorites! Marty has actually met Neil Gaiman before at a con without actually knowing who he was...lucky bastard.

Never read anything by Lloyd Alexander. I should check him out. Your tastes are impeccable.

I'm really in love with that book. I could read it everyday.

That bastard! Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite writers and I'd love to met him. Neverwhere, Good Omens, American Gods, etc. all wonderful reads.

Never read anything by Lloyd Alexander. I should check him out.

His books are mostly young adult. I first read them when I was, like, nine or ten. Great reads, you should really check them out.

Your tastes are impeccable.

Thanks!
