I have read all but War and Peace and Great Expectations (but I have read Anna Karenina and some other Dickens). Harry Potter and Da Vinci code I read to see what the fuss was about and at first I thought both were overrated - while Harry grew on me, Angels and Demons confirmed my suspicions. Fine to pass a wet Sunday afternoon but I boggled that folk were taking it so seriously.
As for John Gray, well despite my Bridget Jones moments, it was while I was doing a Psychology A level "for fun" a few years back and had to do a project on attraction. I think my former sig "Men are from Earth.Women are from Earth. Just deal with it...." sums up my opinions on it .

Actually I agree with Lal ... I kept very quiet about my love of Tolkien in the university years... the odd mention in linguistics but that is all. Bit mean sinceI probably wouldn't have been doing that course without JRRT's influence
