There is always Harry Potter Fan Fiction. Years and Years worth.

The reader in the accompanying photo still has a long way to go before reaching the end of the Harry Potter series.
But I guess I'd still be working through "Order of the Phoenix" too, if I read my books upside-down.

If you like epic battles try "Salammbo" by Gustav Flaubert. Its like a Michael Bay movie written 150 years ago. And its not 'juvenile literature', especially the chapter on sacrificing to the god Moloch.

The Harry Potter books were and are the worst type of cliche writing. Do your children a favor and give them real literature to read not this tripe.

I haven't read 'The Secret History', but Donna Tartt's 'The Little Friend' was unsettling.
