it beat the bible? lol, it should've been first!

cool 1?

well that's kinda cool. interesting to see who beat out harry potter. as much as i love those other books, harry potter is really the only one i couldn't live without.

honeslty, i probably could live without most of those books, except for the Bible but To Kill A Mockingbird is a pretty awesome book as well

it suprises me the bible isn't as popular as hp...

I would agree with most of those. Out of that selection LotR would have been at my top spot followed by HP I think. Very surprised the bible wasn't number one. I'm sure I read recently it was the most popular book in the world. Anyway, nice to HP done so well on the poll.

I think it's funny how like all of them are in front of the bible, kinda weird though... 7?

I cant believe harry potter beat the bible, there is defienetly a problem with this world, and i blame the parents. I love harry potter but the bible - man. At least Lord of the rings came in before HP liked i said i love HP but LOTR is much better.

I love Pride and Prejudice!

Yeah, I'm suprised too. How much do you guys want to bet Laura Mallory will make a big deal out of the Bible behind Lotr/Harry Potter? *rolls eyes* As much as I love Harry Potter, I am glad the Lord of the Rings books came first. They truely deserve the higher spot.

Number 4 is pretty good. If we voted, it would be number one! Too bad.

ahahahahha! I love book readers here, HP is sooooo better than the Bible. Laura Mallory will have a field day! haha! yay! all those books are cool. I'm reading TKaMb right now actually, it's really good. To rival Potter, but nothing will ever exceed it in my mind! :) ahahhahah LOL!

Dreami less, you beat me to it. I too was wondering when Laura Mallory will see this as an opportunity to disgrace the HP series. My goodness, she could use this as evidence...something she's not familiar with! [/sarcasm].

Oh, and the Bible isn't on the best seller list either, because I heard once if it was, it would almost always take the number one spot. So I think this book list is something similar.

HP pwns Bible XD

I have all those books but what I have on my bedside table are Pride and Prejudice and The Harry Potter Books. I've been in love with Mr. Darcy ever since I read the P & P, YEARS ago at school but now I find myself torn between him and Prof Lupin (and my poor husband, of course).

wow! Above the Bible? that is really something! though I'd put HP at the top of my list.

I looove some of those books... but i can't beleive harry is fourth!:P... it should be first!!... loong live haarry potter!!... wooohhooo!!

I like some of those books, but HArry Potter is not fourth!!! HELLO!! I cannot live off those books I need them to breathe!

Surely Great Expectations should be 5% or 5.5%, not 55% ;) but it's cool that HP came so high - above the Bible even! Interesting.

ya i don't think its supposed to be 55%... that doesn't make any sense

cool

i agree with sixth_shot(kinda weird after i got in a small lil argument with him yesterday... =/ ) buts todays hes totaly right.. its sad that harry potter is more popular then the bible!! shame on EVERYBODY who likes the harry potter more then the bible!! *asks himself* what has this world come to?...

Why is the bible on that list at all?

Lord of the Rings and Pride and Prejudice are two of my favourite books in the entire world, along with all the HP books of course. But To Kill a Mockingbird and Jane Eyre are also firm favourites, not to mention Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy.....AAAHHHH, so many wonderful books, how can you choose a favourite out of all of those?!!

july21tillhp7, why shame on everybody who likes Harry Potter more than the Bible? What's so wrong with that? Not everyone follows the bible and its teachings, but that doesn't make them bad people. I was brought up as Catholic, but unfortunately the Bible left me cold. That doesn't make me a bad person though, just because I like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings more. There are a lot of moral lessons to be gleaned from those books. At the end of the day, it's personal choice - don't bash those who choose to follow different teachings to the Bible - it's just narrow mindedness.

How much do you want to bet that the first story we hear in the mainstream media is how HP beat the Bible in this survey; forget about LOTR and the others that beat it?

wow, it beat out the bible! It should surpass the lord of the rings, but then again, I may be bias, I am posting on a Harry Potter fan site ;)

hahahaha!!! It beat the Bible! I knew that THIS is THE BOOK OF BOOKS!!! althogh it's only 4th place...=[*crying*

i would have picked the bible over hp tho.

Loads of good books there, but I have to say I think HP should be in the top three!

Someone should show the list to Laura M!! :D

WHAT! IT SHOULDA BEEN FIRST! IT'S AN OUTRAGE! Sorry, i have issues.

Nikki_85, you took the words right out of my mouth. You put it perfectly. Thank you.

Take that Laura Mallory! Besides, that book would've been in the first spot SOMEONE had told all of us! The next time someone sees a poll involving HP PLEASE inform Mugglenet! I'm also pretty surprised HP beat the Bible, I mean, the HOLY Bible. LOL

Haha it beat out the Bible. That shows what our priorities are. Sadly enough, it would be my number one lol.

Thanks very much, Quiscalus, I'm glad somebody agreed with my ranting!

I agree witht he first 4 books, then the rest, I am not so sure about. But still, should have been Harry Potter, LotR, Pride and Prejudice and then Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre should not have beaten out Harry Potter.

Only Fourth! WTF?!? Pride and Predunce is okay, but not that great.

Hey people don't knock Prid and Prej and the others! they are ALL fab!!!!!# Harry Potter rocks. And the Bible SHOULD be on top but it isn't, the majrouty has spoken and we have to accept that. It doesn't make it any less worthy to read, y'all gotta remember that.

HP beat the bible? How long do you reckon it'll be before Laura Mallory goes on of a hot pursuit to flame those who made the list?

Nikki_85 There are alot more moral issue in the bible then there are in HP or LOTR. Great books but i would'nt live by a fictional story's. believe what you want or not want, but bible bashing for any religion wow totally crappy of you.

Ha haaaaaaa, the Bible's only number 6! Nyahh!

Well, well, well! I was surprised to see that Harry Potter was up with all of the old novels and novelists from some of the greatest works of literature history! And I can't exactly believe that the Bible was only #6........

(points and laughs at all the stuck-up, indignant Christians.) It's like a Laura Mallory convention in here! LOLOLOLOL I love it when Christians get ticked off.

Six_shot_wand, I wasn't bible bashing for any religion. I totally accept people's beliefs, whatever their religion. My point was, some people seem to think that because others prefer reading Harry Pottter than the Bible this makes them immoral, or bad people or whatever, which is complete crap. I don't "live by a fictional story's" morals, they were simply examples of how so many books out there other than the Bible teach good values. I AM NOT bashing the Bible, I am merely stating my OWN opinion, which is different to yours. I would never be so arrogant as to slam other peoples beliefs, but others should not be so arrogant as to belittle mine, just because I choose not to favour the Bible over other books.

The Bible IS fiction, and nothing the Chrisians say will change that. Ever. Ever. Ever. :-)

Harry Potter should have been first. And I am not surprised at all that it beat out the bible, in today's world that really shouldnt shock anyone!!!!

Anyamarcos: you dont have to be christian to beleive in the bible. There are alot of religions that use the bible. Nikki_85 i guess people are right never talk about religion and politics, it always starts a fight.

Six-Shot follows the moral issues in the Bible. Moral issues like killing the babies and children of your enemies, paying a man for the right to rape his daughter, buying and selling people to pay off their debts. Good, moral stuff like that. www.evilbible.com :-)
