I've gone through the poll we had about what reading pattern we wanted and I've listed all the books specifically mentioned from JKR's recommended list with the exception of the Narnia books. It has been commented that they are fairly short books so I thought it might be helpful to gather further opinion on how we read them and I'll put up a separate poll about Narnia shortly.

Many people had requested a Jane Austen book but no one book was requested so I've chosen my particular favourite, Pride & Prejudice.

The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings were both mentioned and, as The Hobbit precedes LoTR, I've included that one rather than the trilogy.

Lyra's Oxford and Once Upon a Time in the North have also been mentioned. They're not on JKR's list but, as LO is a very short book, as OUTN will probably also be fairly short, and they are tied into the trilogy, perhaps we could have a thread about each of those in the HDM discussions.
