Actually, I was thinking if anything I'm likely to try reading the Harry 
Potter books [which are also reputed to be well-written]. I know a 
person who is a very big HP addict. Apparently she "resents" me having 
an opinion about the films when I haven't read the books. (Er, hello? 
It's a story, not a religion...)

Oh, those are there too, but there usually in the "Computing" section. 
(I'm usually in the Mathematics section. The Computing section contains 
nothing of interest - unless you *wanted* to learn how to upgrade your 
PC beyond 640 KB of RAM? I gather this used to be difficult in some way...)
