Half Blood Prince. I just think it's really boring. The movie was good though!
And you?

Order of the Phoenix. To tell the truth I couldn't finish reading it.
(Off topic, but your signature made me giggle. "What the hell is a Hufflepuff?")

The Deathly Hallows.
For some reason it wasn't as good as all the other books.

Don't worry Neko! It's always good to hear stuff like that! I think Order is in my top three or four though. Not sure...I don't have the best memories of reading it.  I read Sirius' death scene a few days after my dad died, which was depressing. My friend couldn't finish it either! She hated Umbridge! |

I quite enjoyed all of the books. Then again, I find myself reading Shakespeare willingly. Perhaps I am just an avid book lover.

I remember reading Romeo and Juliet in school. I felt like I was the only one who really enjoyed it. Probably because I was the only one who understood it. =/
I actually have a few Shakespeare pieces on my list of things to read, but I think it might take a while for me to get to them. (Long list.)

I never read Shakespeare on my own time or anything, but whenever I was in class (regular senior English, and not AP) I think my friend and I were the only one who really enjoyed it and laughed at the jokes (We were reading Much Ado About Nothing) because we actually got the jokes. Although I completely loathe Hamlet.  |

I always get those No Fear Shakesphere books. They clear everything up and actually allow you to enjoy it. I actually like the way they talk in the plays, but that's just me. But yeah. We were watching Romeo and Juliet in theatre class one day, and I was the only one laughing at the jokes.

I'm getting fairly good at figuring out the meaning of old literature. Although most of what I have been reading lately is from the 1800's.
Wow, this has gotten really off topic.

I haven't read anything by Romeo and Juliet, but I'm going to read The Two Gentlemen of Verona soon. If you've read nothing but the legendary Romeo and Juliet, I highly recommend Hamlet and Macbeth. Those two plays are polar opposites but both bring up wonderful questions about human nature, what is evil, what is right and the like. Macbeth does a fantastic job in questioning fate and the concept of "wyrd," whereas Hamlet.. Hamlet will just leave you floored. I am going to pick up Twelfth Night sometime within the next four days, as well as John Milton's "Paradise Lost." If you asked any english teacher or professor what the top three classic authors of Britain are, they'd answer Shakespeare, Chaucer and Milton in that order. Sadly, not many cover John Milton, so I'm taking the initiative to cover it myself before college. |

I pretty much liked all of them, except I felt kind of annoyed with the order, Harry was a bit TOO angsty/angry. As for Shakespeare, I sort of like him I'm one of the few people who actually got what was happening while we were reading Romeo and Juliet. I read some of Hamlet too. I just feel he's kind of overrated but I have to give him credit for Jacques's "All the world's a stage" speech, it really gets you thinking.

I don't quite understand the "Order Of Phoenix" though. I have no idea why,

Slytherin - because real friends help you incendio the bodies
