Is anyone actually treating Harry Potter like Tolstoy or is that just a strawman? For someone who is putting on the front of a lit-snob, you seem to have a pretty weak grasp of the context necessary to make a solid critique of the novels. You call them children's books as though there isn't such a thing as good and…

Wish you would've just started with "Shakespeare is overrated" so we could've avoided the entire conversation. You have no idea what you're talking about.

It's weird enough when adults are this invested in liking something for children, but it's weirder yet when they're invested in hating it.

Why do you hate fun?

Don't cut your wrists with all that Edginess.

I am reading Nell Bernstein's "Burning Down the House: The End of Juvenile Prisons."

Gay/"gay" behavior was discouraged because the management thought it would turn off the teenage girls that made up the fan base. If only they knew...
