Well, I made it thru the Twilight series and couldn't take more than one Potter book, so there ya go.  Twilight was a decent read (not worth anything near the current fanfare, but okay) despite a few glaringly horrific moments (such as the sparkle).  Potter was pure escapist camp from start to finish.<br/><br/>All that aside, if anyone here hasn't yet read Daughter of Smoke and Bone (http://www.amazon.com/Daughter-Smoke-Bone-Laini-Taylor/dp/0316134023/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332747748&sr=8-1), you must do so immediately.
