I don't intend to read it, but Harry Potter would be one of the best books to be required reading. Why? Almost everybody who read it (mostly kids) have become passionnate about it. The fact is that if you let the student choose the book, he'll choose the thinest, with biggest characters...

I just went to the library and took a peek into the book I mentionned in the above thread...I was deceived; the estimated profit resulting from the supposed offense of initiate is only about 10 millions, so it really isn't that big of a deal... The fact that someone would know about the...
