Nice readin' material.

[wasaredherring]

I didn't choose it.

[andallthefixins]

Who did?

[wasaredherring]

Camp, what else?

[ovoretherainbow]

Eh? What're dose?

[wasaredherring]

Terrible and depressing books.

[ovoretherainbow]

Camp's havin' you read dem den?

[wasaredherring]

Yes.

[although...] Hmm, I did say that I wasn't going to read Animal farm, but do you want to hear it?

[motherbored]

Why censor Animal Farm but not The Red Pony of Watership Down?

[wasaredherring]

Because The Red Pony and Watership Down were intended for young adults, or at least older children. Animal farm was written as a political satire for adults.

...And honestly I'd rather have parents complaining about animal violence then them claiming that I'm trying to corrupt their children with communist ideas.

[motherbored]

...Are there parents here?

[wasaredherring]

There are children here. I don't see why some of the adults wouldn't take care of them.

[saphoftehjungle]

The... Pl-a-goo-eh? Dogs... The Snow Qoo-eh?-n... Queen? I-van... and the G-Grey Wolf...

[wasaredherring]

Ah, only a few of them are something you should read at your age...

[saphoftehjungle]

Mmm... *n-nods*

...what do you think I should read?

[wasaredherring]

Hmm, Ivan and the Grey Wolf was an old classic when I was growing up, but the Snow Queen is very good too...

[sqpeg_roundhole]

What about Treasure Island?

[placeholder]

[wasaredherring]

To be honest, I'd much rather be reading that one.

[sqpeg_roundhole]

It's pretty good, even though I'm not much for adventure stories.

[wasaredherring]

Me neither, but they're always popular with children.
