Actually the only thing that would tick me off about HP was Ron and Harry acting likes girls whenever they had a fight (although I guess it makes sense since it was written by a woman) other than that I liked it.

Have you ever had a fight with a friend? Was your first reflex to say "I'm not talking to you anymore!" Then ignore him for a month? Did anyone of your friends every tell that to you?

And not over you sleeping with his gf, but over you not helping him in a math test.

Can't deny it, parts just don't make sense or are bad writing. If you found out you had to kill the most badass wizard of the past 50 years would you spend the entire year playing Quidditch or would you start training so you could live?

There are lots of these types of questions, but it still doesn't change my point haha

Exactly. HP isn't A Song of Ice and Fire where every tiny thing has meaning or has consequences.

Also, there wasn't nearly enough pictures

I used to read books with lots of pictures in them. When I was 5.

You've read Ice and Fire Ebo? We should start a book recommendation thread haha, I feel like we read a lot of the same stuff. Have you read the Malazan books?

ASOIAF is my favorite book of all times, yes. ADWD didn't impress me, but I'm not dropping it like many others just because it wasn't what I expeced. Basically I'm all for authorial freedom from fan hate, and always willing to give a chance to the author to finish the whole thing before being subject to criticism. Half the picture =/= whole picture.

As for Malazan, I tried, but it's a little too WoWish with all the lore. I can take this stuff in videogames, but I'm looking for deeper, less DnD campaign feel in adult books. Honestly, ASOIAF killed my enjoyment of ALOT of modern fantasy. Everything pales in comparison, and I just can't enjoy it. As a result, I'm mostly into non-fiction right now, history, era stuff, specifics like fashion, architecture, war, etc.
