No. Rowling’s books are poorly written. Her grammar is painfully simple, on a par with “See Spot. See Spot run.” Her plots are convoluted and inconsistent. Toward the end of each book an entire chapter of exposition is necessary to explain the how & why events played out the way they did.

I haven’t read a classic in quite awhile, but I am looking to here in the distant future. I have a lot of books that aren’t classic yet but I want to read that are ahead of my next classic. Namely I have the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series by George R. R. Martin (that was recently made into an HBO show) that I recently purchased. I also have “Snow Crash” by Neal Stephenson that my new friend Steve lent me. If you have read any of those books I would appreciate a comment here as well!
