Harry Potter and The Hunger Games were awesome... D: The Hunger Games series is like the new controlled substance in our school. Everyone's exchanging and borrowing from whoever they can find who has them, and I've never seen so many kids actually reading books in my school... It's kinda scary. And they weren't as cliche as I thought they'd be.<br />

Um, House of Night. I see somebody already mentioned it, but I feel it's worth bringing it back up. I read the first, what, four or five books in the series? Then I pretty much forced myself to stop, which is nearly impossible to do. That's how much I hated them. >.> Really. I will never pick one of those up again. *shudder* :D *LOTR squee*

Though Tolkien's elves are actually likable, when I was reading the Inheritance Cycle I kept wanting that female elf Eragon gots it for to die, I can't be arsed to look up her name.

But...He's Tolkien! So he gets away with it. :D (Kidding...Kinda...I'm such a LOTR-Squee...)<br />
<br />
I guess, if you want to get technical, no matter what you write, you're probably copying someone, whether you base your works off another's intentionally or not. Eragon's elves always seemed kind of like a rip-off of Tolkien's to me...<br />
<br />
I could probably get into a long discussion over this but I doubt I need to sound any more like a LOTR-Squee, so I'll shut up while I'm ahead... :D

But I mainly like trashy romance books.<br />

So I try to remind myself that I also have good taste in books.<br />

Besides Hunger Games (Which I'm actually working on reading now. Yep.) I've read everything here, plus some other things that were mentioned in the comments. And I love this stuff. Call me patheticles. But, I know I'm not alone...The only thing I'm alone in is sympathizing with Voldy.... :(<br />
<br />
Of course, I've balanced out my reading of the....Lower end of the literature scale, at least in my opinion. See, I'll just read whatever I can get my hands on, good, bad, or otherwise. Lord of the Rings…

<br />
Of course, I've balanced out my reading of the....Lower end of the literature scale, at least in my opinion. See, I'll just read whatever I can get my hands on, good, bad, or otherwise. Lord of the Rings still trumps all other series I have ever read and is the only series I will ever be a complete and total Squee Fan for. LOTR ruled my life. Sometimes, it still does. LOTR is my second religion.<br />
<br />
Ok, I'm going to stop before I start speaking Elvish.<br />
<br />
I read the Iliad. For fun.<br />
<br />
Things Fall Apart. Read it for English class. Still looking for own copy.<br />
<br />
I could go on and on about all the books I've read, but I have to work in less than an hour, so I'll shut up because I doubt you care anyway.<br />
<br />
Basically, as I think you said above, I don't think it's bad to read these books. They're fun to read. And I'm annoyed when people say things like, "You shouldn't read that. It's not good enough quality." So what? I read for fun. Bite me. You just need to make sure that your reading of the lower end is balanced out with reading from the higher end...Oh, and whatever the heck made it to the middle.<br />
<br />
Actually, I think some of these are middle books, but maybe that's just a matter of opinion.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I like you experiment idea. :D -salutes- I wish you the best of luck and, if you need any help, I happen to be the owner of a Therapy Center for Fanfiction Cliche-Effected Characters that may be able to assist. :P<br />
<br />
Oh, and I see someone already suggested the Night World books. Entertaining trash. You should add them. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.<br />

P.S. Had to add this rant.<br />
<br />
Dear Christopher Paolini,<br />
<br />
I did love Eragon. I really did. But please, just admit you're blatantly copying Tolkien's elves before I have Legolas stab you in the eye with a knife or something. Poser.<br />
