Well I, for one, am 22 and enjoyed the books immensely. Read all 4 twice
actually.

Read somthing a little more on our level? Shouldn't we be able to read
whatever we want? Your post gives the impression that you look down on anyone
under the age of 9 who likes Harry Potter. I too have read the LOTR and
Hobbit, along with all of the Wheel of Time stuff (4 times over for some of the
books) and loved them. Might I suggest L. E. Modesitt Jr. Recluse Saga, it is
along the same level of depth that you profess to love. But yet, somehow I
still was able to enjoy the HP series. I don't mind that you don't like the
series, you should be able to like or dislike whatever you like, but to insult
others for their indiviual tastes is rude.

Ditto. Loved CTHD. One of the best martial arts flicks ever.

Checked out your website, but couldn't find any MOCs.
Well that was my 2¢.

PS I am not saying that you shouldn't have told us that you didn't like the
series, a variance of opionions is great.
