I've been repeatedly advised by various friends to read the Lemony Snicket books. Finally, yesterday, at erin's urging, I grabbed Gina's copy of The Bad Beginning.

It's great. I find it much more engaging than Harry Potter. Not that there's any need for comparison, but when you have these new-fangled, faddish, childrens' series with an old-fashioned flavour to them, you can't help but. So far I'm much more drawn to these characters. There's something much more E. Nesbitt and C.S. Lewis about these kids. Although I still like Harry too, he's a good old chap.

But I wish I'd snagged more than one. I read this first one in about twelve seconds. I sort of forgot, when I was taking it, that I'm older than six and therefore it won't take me as long to finish it...
