We were an experiment, but he clearly has no more interest in us at this point. Hey, speak for yourself.

ROTFLMAO!!
LJ, this is why you are my hero.

You must never have read any books by Robert Louis Stevenson or even Louisa May Alcott. Or L.M.Montgomery or C.S.Lewis or Lloyd Alexander or George MacDonald or Mark Twain or Laura Ingalls Wilder or Madeline L'Engle or Ray Bradbury or...

You did all the work.
Howard Pyle, H.G. Wells, E. Nesbit, Johanna Spyrie, Jules Verne, James Thurber - didn't he write "The 13 Clocks"? Makes me want to go to the library. I don't even know if books like that are still in libraries.
Gosh - I'm not THAT old!

As a Christian I don't see the Harry Potter books as a "threat to Christianity", what I think threating are the choices we make in life in regards to our surrender to Christ and our walking in faith.

I can't even begin to name all the children's books I loved and read. I forgot to mention the old classics like Ben Hur. I loved historical fiction. It's just so sad to see people praising these books. It's like listening to someone explain to you why The Monkees are superior to the Beatles.
Everyone here is assuming that B16 is some kind of prudish old man. I think he is a man of ideas. A man who has studied the history of ideas. He is a cultured man who knows that books -- even stupid books -- have an impact. Ideas have consequences. He probably read a few chapters and thought, "dear Lord, don't let your kids read this junk."

I also loved historical fiction. It brought history alive.

Just who cares what he has to say. I do. You got a problem with that?

I also loved historical fiction. It brought history alive. Yes! Even when it wasn't exactly historically correct. I loved and still love Mark Twain's "Memoirs of Joan of Arc".
To: GipperGal; Oztrich Boy
Children's books?
Oh, Hemmingway, I guess. (bada-bing)
Does anybody even remember Edgar Rice Burroughs any more?
Recipient of the only three-word book review in history: "Tarzan tripe forever."
But it's good tripe for kids.

Sorry. I know what you mean. But at least I didn't tell you to think of Alfred Kinsey. *shudder*
To: dsc
But it's good tripe for kids. I sure do remember! I read the first few.
To: GipperGal
"But at least I didn't tell you to think of Alfred Kinsey."
There's a difference?
