Oh dear Lord, the horror! The horror! Now the little kiddies might have to go back to reading Treasure Island and Alice in Wonderland! Noooo!

But seriously, I'm grateful B16 slammed these books -- if for no other reason than he is once again demonstrating that he is a man of refined artistic taste. A lover of Mozart and Bach. An admirer of Hermann Hesse (his favorite novel is "Steppenwolf"). Call me an aesthetic snob if you must, but these Harry Pothead books are junk.

Ping -- though I know you'll take umbrage at my callous disregard for the Potty books.

Alice in Wonderland? Are you Sirius? The very book that started the trend of seeing adults as foolish and incompetent and children seen as worthy of praise for mocking their authority

`Who cares for you?' said Alice, (she had grown to her full size by this time.) `You're nothing but a pack of cards!'
