Oh, no, not attacking at all. *smile* Honestly, I don't know. I really don't. But then, my whole outlook on fantasy changed after I read Harry Potter. Before that, there were only a few I liked: LOTR, Narnia, The Belgariad...nothing was ever good enough. LOTR I couldn't help. I started out being skeptical about it and then...my brother borrowed the BBC radio drama from a friend. He'd already finished with the first part, and I was extremely bored one afternoon and let him talk me into listening to it. (He regrets that to this day because I became wildly obsessed and wouldn't shut up about it for at least the first two years. Haha!) But my contradictory behavior was one of the things I had to laugh at when I finally got over my fear and read Harry Potter. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shannon" <shannon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Nicole,Can I ask you a question? Please don't take this as me being patronizing, or trying to rail at you about stuff you already know about. Because that's not my intent.But I am really curious about how you managed to read other non-Harry Potter fantasy books. I mean, a large majority of them do involve magic in some ways, and it seems like quite a few of them even use witchcraft. I'm just curious about your thought processes at the time that would make, say, LOTR OK but HP not so much.And again, I really do want to know, so I hope you won't think I was attacking you.Shannon At 06:15 PM 6/19/2008, Elfqueen wrote:Who won that one? I used to be among those who thought Harry Potter was dangerous and should not be read, especially by children. Then I read them. And really laughed at myself, then got down to enjoying the series very much.To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank Email to bookshare-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the Subject line.
