THe Hobbit (Im abit behind in times) great book except they dont include a description of elves and had I not seen the LoTR movies I wouldve assumed they were the shorter variety of elves because of they way the acted and since everyone else besides Gandalf up to that point were dwarf/hobbit sized. Other than that and the fact "goblins" randomly got changed to "Orcs" in the LoTR book I thought the book was brilliant the whole way through

Suzumiya Haruhi: Volume One: The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, Not very descriptive, Had I not seen the anime i dont think i would be able to picture the scenes at all, but that might just be that all schools in Japan look the same and its written for that audience in mind. It still has a good story though and its nice to read the original source.
