nope, it's not out just yet. I think Christopher said it will be out around September. He decided to call the Inhertiance Trilogy, the Inhertiance Cycle because the 3rd book was going to be around 900 pages if he stuck to a trilogy.
Oh okay.

Mad, i have something to look forward to in this bland year LOL...

I want J.K.Rowling to write more Harry Potter Books.

There was a story in the news headlines a while back that said that the Harry Potter series may not yet be over.
Maybe one of children will become the next 'Harry Potter' ?

Mmmm, yeah i heard about that as well. She's going to be doing -possibly- a series concerning the Marauders. Should be interesting, top two of my favourite characters just happen to be a part of the Marauders :p

There would be no story line.

I mean 'he who must not be named' is dead.
I would read any book about Harry Potter she released. But would anyone else.

J.K.Rowling has said she will publish 'secrets' of Harry Potter. But not another book. I WISH SHE DID!
I would kiss her 40 year old butt LOL

Probably the Harry Potter series, though I think that after the fifth one it went a little downhill...

This comment makes me think that the chances of that are very low, although I would love a prequel.

Authors are very creative people. It wouldn't be too difficult to come up with a new plotline/dark lord... but for the record I don't believe we'll get another series from JKR.

Really? I thought that the Order was a pretty gripping novel. The 6th was a bit bland, but she came roaring back with the edition of the Hallows.
Aw, dang, I'd just love a story with the Marauders involved. A story with Lily and Jame though? That should be interesting and hilarious.

I don't think it will. I mean you would have already heard about the 'dark lord'. I doubt there would be so 'many' evil people in the world.

aaah definitely the lovely bones by alice sebold... the standard class gets to study it, while my class is stuck with yucky barbara baynton's "bush studies"... shudder... other than that, i love "the host" by stephenie meyer [of twilight fame], james frey's "a million little pieces", catcher in the rye... & scott westerfeld's uglies series raWkx too.

My favourite book is called New Senior Mathematics (Three Unit Couse for Years 11 & 12) by J.B. Fitzpatrick.

I learn new things every time I read it. I am just so impressed with the ways in which the author presents Mathematics questions to make me question over again and again. From the book, I question the meaning of life "What do I try to achieve from doing these stupid questions that would have no relevance in my life?".

By the way, my 2nd best book is Cambridge 3 Unit HSC. It makes me question why I need so many Mathematics books when I already have 20 books or so.
lyounamu!! that's HILARIOUS! but, i must admit... that lovely mint green cover is quite arousing to the eye, and the content is always so enjoyable! the lack of answers for all questions does tend to tick me off quite regularly, however.

The Bugalugs Bum Theif by Tim Winton. It's from the Aussie Bites book range.

I didn't like Prisoner of Azkaban.
LOVED Half-Blood Prince.

I like most chapters in Deathly Hallows, and the story-line was great.
I have the american version and it has cool pictures LOL.

I really like Order of the Phoenix.

Oh yeah it was so sad.

My heart lifted when Molly was dueling Bellatrix.

And my heart also lifted when Harry was being carried to Hogwarts by Hagrid. :)

Made me feel good.

I wanted him to bring his parents back from the dead with the Hallows :D
