Okay, so this article is really interesting, and explains a lot about me.
Sort of like Rinkworks.

If you liked this article, look for a book called "The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairytales" by Bruno Bettelheim. It's a book length version of what this article scratches the surface of. (I'm pretty sure the article author has read it; it's the classic text on the subject, and most of what she says is straight out of Bettelheim.) It also explains very well why children not only *should* be allowed to read fairy tales, but *must*.

So that's why my mind is so warped! ... well, maybe not -- but at least I've got a good excuse now ... Neat article.
