I'm reading "The Family Man" by Elinor Lipman, and I wish I could just enter that world and hang out with those people. I often feel this way about her books.

Which books make you want to walk inside them and live for awhile?

Spiralli

Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert made me want to plan a trip to Italy!

Every time I read a Jane Austen book I get a burning desire to live in that time period. The dresses, the cariages, the dances (sigh)

'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' by John Berendt made me want to go live in, or at least visit Savannah...which is kinda tough being on the other side of the world

Did you know that in the US its Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone?? I was flabbergasted when a friend came back from England with a copy of HP and the Philosopher's Stone for me.

Someone (probably religious) must have taken offense from the title.

Jeep, Middle Earth would be awesome! Me and Frodo would be bestest friends

I doubt that's it- if they were pandering to religious fanatics, "sorcerer" woud have been more offensive. I'm guessing they just thought they new title would have more appeal for American audiences. (Which is still pretty stupid, IMO...)

Gemini is right -- the publishers thought that American kids wouldn't want to read a book with the world "Philosopher" in the title, so they changed it to Sorcerer to make it sound more action-packed and magical.

curlylaura

Really? Hmm, so it's marketing then? Does the film have Sorcerer or Philosopher in the title? Also is it called the philosophers stone in the book or the sorcerer's?

Definitely Saving Francesca and Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta. They remind me so much of the kids at my school The Alex Rider series made me feel like being a spy for a while . I only got to read the first two Harry Potter books, but they were awesome

And about the title...I've seen it as both here in Canada, but the first one I saw was "Philosopher's". I've seen that more often than "Sorcerer's" Does Wikipedia mention anything about it?
