@beladozer Isn't that the way too many times? Some call it the "Suck Fairy," i.e. someone came along and ruined that book you used to love! Part of it (for me) is that nothing is as good as the first time.

It is honestly why I rarely read books twice. The ones I love and cherish could get seriously tarnished. I tried to read The Phoenix and the Carpet and the Narnia books with my kids -- they did NOT stand up! ;)
