I was looking through the covers again and I came across the french
ones again.

that sort of sparked my pondering on "Le Petit Prince" by Antoine
de St. Exupery. Its for kids and adults like Hp but in a different
way. JKR sort of helps adults relive their child hood and provides the
escape. We're on the Adventure with Harry and Company.
St. Exupery takes it a slightly different way. He presents to you this
character "le petit prince" a personification of childhood or rather
Exupery's childhood. And the whole book focus' (through stories about
prince's adventures) on defining childhood and adulthood and the little
"stupidities" (that's what I would call them) that adults do or treasure.

its really a cute book and insightful, I would HIGHLy recommend
it... (although I read it in french... i don't know if much of the
flavor is lost through the language changeover but I think it will be
just as good.)

that's it for me...
