I could write better. But then again the vast majority of people wouldn't know real literature if it bit them in the ass.

And it's all capitalism's fault.

My Mac comments were pointing out how you're blowing $$$$ money on a computet that isn't THAT much better than PC's.

As for the kiddie book comment, well, at college we had a phrase for people like you.

Eliteist.

I like "Life on the Mississippi" myself. One of the finest pieces of writing the US has ever produced.

Huck Finn isn't really a kid's book anyway. You have to be pretty mature to understand some of the stuff going on.

Ah the problem presents itself... you underestimate the maturity of kids. I think they can deal with racism.... just like they'll deal with the death of a major character in the latest Potter book.

No.

The Corps of Cadets (I was one) has to guard it. So, I guarded the thing for a few hours every, oh, 2 weeks or so.

We Aggies, on the other hand, were successful in stealing Texas University's Mascot (Bevo the Steer) on numerous occasions. Sucks when one rival has a dedicated Military org guarding everything and the other doesn't.

You put Rowlings in the same class as Mark Twain et al? How sad.

Seriously, Huck Finn is not about some kids wandering around, but it is more of a commentary of the society at the time. No such parallel exists in any of the Potter books.
