[Will]

It really is quite hard to decide, isn't it?

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

Top three hmmmmmmm? That's difficult.

My number one book that I've read so far has to be HDM, closely followed by Harry Potter, but after that I really don't know! My list would probably look something like this:

1. His Dark Materials
2. Harry Potter
3. Noughts & Crosses, Georgia Nicolson, LoTR, HHGTtG, Princess Diaries, Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, Witch Child, The Hobbit, Sally Lockhart, Wind on Fire, Goodnight Mister Tom, A Little Love Song - and any other books that are on my "favourite" bookshelf, tie in third place.

[Will]

I'm sure there's already been one, but has there been a poll on the site as to which HDM book is best? I bet it went in the same order as Soup's list did (look back up a bit).

[Shivy]

probably somewhere.. there's a thread, not sure about a poll..

[jleigh]

1. Gabaldon's Outlander Series
2. HP or HDM... ahh I can't choose.
3. Ender's Game or L'Engle Time Quartet.. again... I can't choose.

[DominaSnow]

[TheLadyofShalott]

1. His Dark Materials
2. Abhorsen Trilogy or Old Kingdom Series or Sabriel books (someone please make up their mind what they are called)

4. The Hitch-hiker's guide to the galaxy
5. Dune (not the following books, just the 1st)
6. Georgia Nicolson books

[Justine]

HDM books
Many Waters (Madeline L'Engle)
ummm... I dunno

[Isobel]

Many Waters is good. I really liked the whole Wrinkle in Time series. Also, I like her books about Vicky Austin.

[Tristan]

Many Waters was probably the best one in the wrinkle in time series/thingy. I liked the interesting take on the story of noah... that was cool.
