Liked your post. I read to my kids each night and to be honest don't think I will stop until they shout, "get out of my room you dirty fucker, I'm trying to shag my wife/husband."

If you want a really heavy serious read go get some freaking Kafka put a beret on your head, crowd into a basement bar in Berlin and discuss The Trial (which is a bloody trial to read), whilst listening to some overrated home made wankish poetry. Might as well put the world to rights whilst your at it, like that ever worked...

If you want something really easy, fun, magical and simply entertaining then the Harry Potter books are superb. They are not meant to be classics, they are meant to be harmless entertaining escapism for kids and adults alike.

Kids love the HP books because they like to play pretend. Adults who love them remember what it was like to play pretend.
