If you were in a store trying to buy a good book, and someone who doesn't read tells you that the books in the store were garbage and a waste of time.

Would you be stupid or intelligent to accept his/her view?

Do you think the person who doesn't read would be credible or would you ask someone who actually reads for an opinion (preferably someone who read the book you are interested in)?

So what happens to her in the 13th book? Do you guys know? Or will I just have to read all the books to find out?

Mine is....

And Death Shall Have No Dominion by Dylan Thomas

And death shall have no dominion.
Dead mean naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clen bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Through they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

It was about a space adventurer, however he was not typical. He was short, fat, and bald. He was sort of an entrepeneur and there was a chapter in the book about him claiming and salvaging asteroids. The title was something like "The amazing blank blank" the blanks were his name. for example "The amazing Harry Mudd" or something like that. I asked this before and someone said the title was "unaspectable" that is NOT it and im unsure why they even said it was a one word title when I said it was three. Then that was voted as the best answer and the question was closed. Somewhat frustrating.Therefore im trying to ask again. Anyone have any ideas?
