Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone is a great book, its so easy to immerse yourself in the story. Harry does not know he is a wizard until his eleventh birthday. Luckily Hagrid appears and informs Harry about his powers.
Harry has been accepted to Hogwarts, a school that educates wizards and witches on how to use their abilities. The villain in the story is Voldemort who was almost destroyed attempting to kill Harry when he was a baby. Harrys parents were killed during this battle and he was living with his aunt and uncle.
Voldemort is trying to return to power with a stone that gives wizards and witches immortality. This stone has been hid inside Hogwarts and protected by different spells that teachers at Hogwarts have created. Harry discovers that one of the teachers has been helping Voldemort.
Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione work together to prevent Voldemort from stealing the Sorcerer’s stone. They run into obstacles including a plant that attempts to choke them, a bigger than life chess set that Ron is able to conquer and a flying key that must be caught by Harry himself. Last is a tricky potion riddle that Hermione is able to solve.
When I am not reading I watch my satellite TV from Direc4U.com, I enjoy unwinding with shows I have recorded on my DVR.

Read more...I'm pretty savvy with pop culture and I think I always have been. I guess that reading all those issues of Tiget Beat and Teen Bop must have done me some good because I'm always the first one to get a right answer for any kind of pop culture related question at bar trivia or just in general. So, I was really surprised a while back when one of my friends texted me about some new Sweet Valley High books that are coming out.
I went online to verify it was true, because I couldn't believe that I hadn't heard about it before her. Especially because that was my favorite book series growing up after the Baby Sitters Club books. After I found out from enough reliable sources online or decide that it was true, I saw this website http://www.clearwirelessinternet.com and started reading through it. I like it better from the looks of it than the internet company that I was using at the time, so I switched over to it.
Now I can't wait for the new Sweet Valley High books and I think that they're going to be great, especially for all of us old fans!
Books can be for all ages and don't really require any specific occasion to be given. From wide array of children's books to great novels, there's definitely something you can pick to perfectly suit the person you'd love yo give it.
