Thanks to everyone who answered harry potter. Its dumb book that has nothing to it what so ever, and most people read it because now its a fad. Books should not have the "being cool" part attached to them.

Harry Potter. I actually have read some of the series and I lost interest early on. I just don't get the hype.
God Bless!!

I'm afraid I have to agree with thezaylady. The bible had been used as a reason for much. The bible is used as a reason for people not to have to think for themselves. No matter the content of the book, real or fake, it was still written by humans and humans are flawed. We make things imperfect and we alter things with our opinion no matter how hard we try to be impartial. There is a saying that's something like, history is the winners point of view. How can we trust what the bible says when it was written by men as human as you and me? People do so much because the Bible said so but the bible was written by a person! Yes, it's about God but it's not by God!!! For all we know the Bible is just a collaboration of stories by really creative ancient authors. Would you fight a war because J.K. Rowling told you to? Stephen King? James Patterson? If you won't fight their wars why would you fight the wars of some ancient man whose identity you don't know who could have stood for anything and who could in no way relate to the modern world today? I hate to say it but it's ridiculous what all we have done in the name of some ancient dusty old anonymous tome.

i would have to say harry potter or gone with the wind. i realize that they are both very popular, and a lot of people enjoy them, but I've read them both and was dissapointed by what i thought was a lack of substance. for me to enjoy a book, i need characters that you can relate to, and i had a hard time relating to characters in either novel, or set of novels in the case of harry potter.

I have to agree, Catcher in the Rye.
It's horrible, and as a testament to the growing adult I know no one who thought or acted like the boy in the book.

Even as a Christian, I have to say the Bible. Too many people use it as a greenhouse where nothing outside it exists.
