Oh, I love the Dark is Rising sequence. I've read the books at least half a dozen times over the past 15 years. It would have been more, but it took 10 years for me to actually buy the book. 
"You need me. You wouldn't be much of a hero without a villain. And you do love being the hero, don't you. The cheering children, the swooning women, you love it so much, it's made you my most reliable accomplice." -- Lex Luthor to Superman, Question Authority, Justice League Unlimited
