The plebs always say Harry Potter is the best.

But what about us, the elite of the Internet?

What is the true magnum opus of our time, Percy Jackson or Artemis Fowl.

I read White Fang when I was in fifth grade and loved it. I wanted a dog just like the one in the book. At my recommendation, my friend also read it about the same time and turned into a furry.
