Yeah, my mom would probably rip you in half and stomp you into a puddle of goo.

*Shrug*  So would your dad.  I’m a lover, not a fighter.

And I think I’ll stop now before this devolves even further off the topic of children’s books.

Yeah, stay on topic, Moderator.

Funny thing about that is that C.S. Lewis is considered a Christian writer. That’s why his books were in the library of the Baptist school I went to, but Oz books were banned.

I read the Wizard of Oz when I was in the 4th or 5th grade…I was surprised we were allowed to read it, b/c of the head-chopping thing.

My 4th grade teacher was all into the WW2 holocaust for some reason….she showed us this 6 hour documentary (over a few days) about it.  I heard later that some parents really got upset about it.  But on our reading list that year was “Number the Stars” by Lois Lowry I think…about a girl & her family who were helped out of Germany by their neighbors.

I’d never heard of LotR before it came out on film, but have since attempted reading the books. I liked the hobbit more.

Neo just needs a spanking is all.

But she’s from England!  That’s like us not knowing what, uh, something very famous by a really famous American is.

You want to reward him?

(Though that probably depends on who is spanking him.  And it won’t be me.)

I’d heard of LoTR but never read it until I read ‘The Hobbit’ but I still couldn’t be bothered to finish the fellowship
