books which they are more likely to read!

The would-be Harry banners are governed by the old Puritan assumption
that if someone is enjoying something, then it must be bad for them. (The
modern venacular is: "No pain, no gain.") These are people who won't be
happy until children are forced to agonize over "Belsham's Essays" and
"Book of Funeral Orations".
