Not exactly answering the question because I am reading it now, 
but "Cloud Atlas" by David Mitchell is the most original, thought-
provoking, and just downright brilliant book I have read in a long 
time. I can imagine some of you other bookworm Potterites who like a 
challenge will enjoy it as well. The book actually changes genres 
throughout, so there is a travelogue, an awesome sci-fi storyline, 
memoir, etc. in all differnt time periods, and the storylines all 
connect in very unexpected ways. If you like trolling for clues in 
HP, this book is great fun as you try to find the connections and 
tie everything together. Not to mention the writing prowess of the 
author, who composes interesting stories in all of the different 
genres. I have cried, laughed out loud, and had the "this is 
amazing" shivers a number of times, and I still have about 50 pages 
left to read.

It is not HP, it is an adult book and some sections are more 
challenging, highly literary reads, but I'm guessing there are some 
of you out there who would be as thrilled as I have been reading it.
