It’s unfortunate that these “posters” don’t have the literary pedigree of someone like myself or Paul.

Harry Potter is gay. Lord of the rings is where it’s at.

I liked the politics of the entire story.. But in the first book, I liked the idea of the game where the last person to live won...

I appreciate what it is and definitely is a classic, but I disagree that it’s the greatest ever told.

The first one was very good. The next two failed in my opinion.

It’s the most popular book series of all time and you think this is an unpopular opinion?

Ironic because there are like two female characters in the entire LOTR universe. It is a fricking sausage fest -- ESPECIALLY in the books (the movies added a few more women, thank god).

To me, one of the best books in the last 30+ year is "The Stand" by Steven King.

Emphasis on the "+" there, man. 1989 was 30 years ago. The Stand was written in 1978. It IS fricking fantastic, though.

ETA: It was PUBLISHED in 1978. He started writing it earlier than that. M-O-O-N, that spells "man, that book was written a long time ago.

It isn’t high literature and will never be treated as such.

It has no themes or philosophical insights, yet there are plenty of classic children’s books that do

I dont know man, Hermoine gets pretty good looking in Goblet of Fire.


The chatacter would have been 14.

ETA: The Harry Potter series is one of the most commercially successful books ever. It can’t be a terrible book if so many people like it. I think it’s become so successful because the series grows up with the reader.
