Quote: WireWireWire "What am I reading now? Harry Potter.
What should you read? Harry Potter.
What is my favourite book? Harry Potter.
As you can tell, I'm not much of a reader. The 7 Harry Potter books are the only fiction stuff I've read. Aside from that it's just autobiographys of people I like.'"
That's not a bad start. May I suggest Matthew Reilly as an author you might enjoy? A slight step up from JK, but not too much. Imagine James Bond could fly, travel through time, get shot in the head fifteen times and still save the world.
Not classics, but bloody brilliant non the less.
