C&P. Why is Harry Potter even this high??

[Jean]

LOL, bears have consistently voted Dostoyevsky in this round, but this is the only group where they had their doubts. C&P is not my favorite Dostoyevsky novel, and HP is an amazing book.

HP is an amazing book.That would be an amazing book. I'd like to see you carry an edition of the size onto a bus!

War and Peace......
À la recherche du temps perdu.....
Les Misérables............

C&P. Why is Harry Potter even this high??

Because the Potter series has enchanted millions of readers...for good reason, imho.

I vote for JK Rowling and Harry!

No, I was just very subtly hinting to path that some novels can hardly be carried around in book form


Middlemarch...Counte of Monte Cristo...
Precisely, especially the latter

[RainInSpain]

No question. C&P, of course.

[pathoftheturtle]

There's no shame in writing a series instead of a novel.
