>Butm, dammit, yr probably kidding as well, so ...


Nah nah nah nah naaaaaah I definitely was not kidding.

As for popping Egger one, pop him two for me. Over here in the UK we're 
always reading about McSweeney's as if it was the holy ghost of what's left 
of the intellectual ife when what it seems like to me is a load of old 
shite.

>Hell, comic books are better than most books aimed at kids

Yep. I love the intro to Alan Moore's 'V for Vendetta' about not turning off 
the news. There's a lot more in some comics than in all the Booker prize 
winning middle of the road snore-fests that'll plague us until the end of 
time......

As fer gettin kids to read I'm locked in a constant battle against the trash 
culture that washes over us like a tidal wave of effluent every day, trying 
to persuade my teenage daughter to switch off the tv and read a book, we're 
up against such an anti-intellectual culture what can we do?

Long may you run.
