  Gee, *I* read Alice in Wonderland as a child.  It was made for
children.  It's full of adventure.  It made me wonder what was coming
next.  How is not a children's book?  (And for the record, is much
shorter then Harry Potter, Artemis, Fowler, etc. that Colin seems to
prefer).

Andrew:

First of all, let's start with what we agree on.  We need childrens
books for people to start with, and Alice in Wonderland hardly
qualifies.

Colin:

Include me out.  Apart from attracting initial interest, I think what's 
lacking is the equivalent of children's books.  Not complex things like 
"Alice", or intense things like "The Red Mask", but children's adventure
and 
action stories.  Direct, simple, full of things happening that make you
want 
to know what's coming next.

"Harry Potter", "Guards! Guards!" or "Artemis Fowl", for example,
although 
they are all too long.
