This is the second of three posts scheduled for this... um... morning, now.
And so!
Some people want me to read HP. I want people to read a certain selection of books which I very much like. And so, I was considering making up a kind of fandom exchange thingy, where I read the six published HP books in return for a number of other people reading a selection of works by an author of my choice; in this case, Garth Nix.
The six books would be, in order, Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen, Mister Monday, Grim Tuesday and Drowned Wednesday. And then, it'd be a race for whichever is first out of HP7 and Sir Thursday.
Since there's six books, I'd be after a minimum of six LJers who have read, or are prepared to read, Mr Nix's works. Of course, I'm open to the idea of more. Those who have already read any or all of those of Nix's works can come and play, and you can use this kind of fandom bribery to lure other people into reading what I consider to be some of the best books in my bookcase.
There would be a comm, and people could expect to see me post some kind of commentaries on the HP books on the way through, as well as playing in discussiony stuff for the Nixfans-to-be.
Also, people signing up for this would be under absolutely no obligation to go all the way through if they don't like Garth's style. I'm not going to force people who don't like him to read his books.

I think Sir Thursday is fairly likely to beat HP7 to our shelves. That's just what I think, though.
