That's a great point about the skew. And, five seconds after I made my comment I realized that about Ink and Steel, and spent a few minutes giggling to myself about The Horror and Banning that would occur.

(When I was in fifth grade, my teacher privately recommended Anne Rice and Jean M. Auel to me, based on what she knew I was already reading. My mom's an avid reader and loved that I was, too, but I'm sure she'd have flipped out completely. I should totally tell her about this the next time I'm home...heh.)
