Funnily enough my closest friend has taken the same approach as you have. She now has all 7 books with matching covers for her collection

Power to JK Rowling. I would be proud as an author if I had inspired the imagination of one child, or encouraged one person to enjoy the art of reading. She has achieved so much more than that - a wonderful legacy.

The number of us walking around the office having hushed conversations about Harry this week is amazing - none of us wants to spoil the end for anyone else

Happy reading

For me, Lord of the Rings got me into reading. Bob Salvatore kept me into reading.

Well, you will be happy to hear that some studies have shown a large number of kids who were not pleasure readers before harry potter have become so after.

Margaret Weiss & Tracy Hickmans, Dragonlance Chronicles, sealed the deal for me and fantasy reading. I have since read just about everything writting in the genre, but try as I might, I just can’t get into the Harry Potter series.

I would also like to echoe the above sentiment that a completed Wheel of Time series would be nice. I’ve only waited like 15 years at this point…

Goosebumps got me interested in reading, The Hobbit got me interested in fantasy, and The Eternal Champion got me interested in writing.

I read a lot as a kid, and remember fondly a similar series that started with “A House With a Clock in Its Walls”. It was a young adult contemporary fantasy story with magic and witchcraft. I was delighted when I later saw it referenced as recommended reading in the Basic D&D rule set. The series was nowhere near as popular as Harry Potter, but it was just as engrossing.

I attended another Harry Potter book release with some friends a few years ago. The waiting crowds reminded me of the Cabbage Patch Kids’ riots of the early ’80s, but with less anger. It’s encouraging to see so much hype about a book.

I had not read any of the Harry Potter books either, but recently my fiance and I started watching some of the films. We bought a few of the books also and hadn’t read them yet.
On this recent trip to Germany, I purchased Deathly Hallows and started reading it, though I haven’t read the book previous to it. All in all, it has encouraged me to read more and tahts a good thing!

Back when I was in primary school, the books that got me into reading were the Goosebumps series.

I’m a huge fantasy reader and while this was never on my must have list I did finally read up to the previous book.
As mrdowns said those first two books can be rough on an adult reader since she was definitely not aiming for an older audience at the time. It’s nice to watch her style and tone of the books mature as the protagonists have. Order of the phoenix was quite good. I’ll eventually get around to reading the new one.

The series I definitely want to see finished is Wheel of Time. Preferably with Robert Jordan still alive to finish it (which is somewhat in doubt due to his illness).
