Of course, now that I've said that the only other example I can think of is 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' vs. 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'.

Hi, i hate tacking a reply onto a thred that has been going on for about 70 years, but who cares?
i just read Junk, which is a very good book by Melvin Burgess. It's about heroin addiction and it really puts you off drugs.
I just did the crucible for my english coursework! I kinda liked it actually, but writing a massive essay on it puts you off. I went to see A view from the bridge, which is another Miller play, and that was really good.
Just read His Dark Materials again,too, and the first Sally Lockhart book. Philip Pullman is one off my favourite authors
Yes.. it wasn't great but it wasn't horrible either, I thought. In my English class we're reading Huckleberry Finn, but I'm not actually reading it because 1) I've already read it and 2) I'm not a fan of Mark Twain.
The only Steinbeck I've actually read was Travels with Charlie (which I loved), and excerpts from his unfinished writing on King Arthur. I really should read The Grapes of Wrath one of these days.
I'm almost done with Neverwhere, but I've given in and started The Time Traveler's Wife. I'm inhaling it. So far it's wonderful.
I've recently read Steinbeck's East of Eden, which I really liked. I enjoyed writing a paper on one of it's main themes- man's freedom to choose good over evil. I haven't read any of his other works, but I plan to sometime in the future.
'Neverwhere' is a fantastic book, as everything by Gaiman. If you have still to read 'Good Omens' and 'American Gods', you are lucky. Those are great.
I have just finished 'Fool's Fate' by Robin Hobb, the last book in 'The Tawny Man' trilogy and 'New Spring' by Robert Jordan. I'm a bit lost now as what to read. Probably something I've already read.
After finding my old copy of "Guns, Germs, and Steel" (by Jared Diamond) buried beneath some other books, I'm rereading it. It's very interesting. Subtitled "A History of Everybody for the last 13,000 Years" . Highly recommended.
