I really did try to read them. They bored the heck out of me. I never finished them. And despite what people keep thinking, I'm NOT saying "OMG Harry Potter is teh best thing evar!". I'm not. I enjoy a wide variety of books, adult lit and children's lit. I love Peter Pan, Alice's Adventures, and Narnia. I love them all. The problem is really with newer children's books. They're all so boring....

THANK YOU for not jumping down my throat like everyone else on the comments did!
