    Re: reading competition.

    What is the competition about, Periwinkly? Reading, yes but the length of the book? The fastest reader? The most wacky, quirky, unique book ever read? The saddest? The happiest? The most amounts of boks read in the duration of the competition?

    Just to clarify...

    Re: reading competition.

    If you want your teachers think you are very intelligent and serious thinker, try some book of Niccolo Machiavelli, like The Prince or Marcus Aurelius.

    Many statesmen of the world, kings and presidents have read his books.

    We have suffered too much for too long. We will not accept apartheid masked as peace. We will settle for no less than our freedom.

    OK, the amount of books...

    *The Lord of the Rings collection; including The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (all 4)
    *The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis (All 7)
    *Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling (All 7)
    *Tudor Terror series by Terry Deary (All 6)
    *Inheritance Cycle books by Christopher Paolini (All 4)

    I think all of these apply to children and adults, I really, really, really like these books!!! So you want the highest amount read? You've got the resources now (well a list of recommendations)

    Don't like the books... Movie was awful too

    How can you not like Lord of the Rings?!
    oh: Those books are classics, pure classics. Try the others I recommended, they are very, very, very good

    What have you read so far since the competition and how many???

    Series of Unfortunate Events - 13 books total. kind of depressing, but you really feel a strong love for the three main characters and hope that everything goes well for them

    Recently I've read The Kabul Beauty School, that was good and I've started reading The hobbit.
    I also read Headspace: Sniffer Dogs, Spy Bees and One Woman's Adventures in the Surveillance Society which was pretty interesting and unusual, especially the spy bees

    Novels by Charles Dickens are very good. I like the way he mixes high English with the very lowest forms with his characters.

    I was just wondering, does anybody else thinks that books like the ones listed above (fatasy/fiction) can be classified as haram? Surely, these books can influence the mind. I mean Harry Potter falls in love towards the end, doesn't he?

    I suppose being brought up in the West these things are taken for granted?
