kids books

can i just say that having to read 'Peter Pan' for a paper requirement is pretty much amazing.
while others are slogging through books on Kant and Hiedeger (didn't spell that right), i'm reading Tolkien and Lewis and Barrie, looking at what fairy tales accomplish and why taking characters into another world is a vaild type of literature.
this means i 'have' to read books like the Narnia Chronicles, 'The Phantom Tollbooth,' 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,' & 'Bridge to Terabithia'.
its great.
who else do you know that went to Oxford got to read kids books as part of the bargain?
crazy, isn't it?
anyway, i'm excited.
