i reread it a few days ago, took about 80 minutes and i was taking my time with the prose. definitely not worth reading.

i think The Phantom Tollbooth deserves a reread. Alice In Wonderland of course. anything Roald Dahl.

Back when I was a young lad forced to participate in youth soccer we had an almost certainly autistic kid on our team who was almost two years older than the rest of us.
Every single game he'd yell at us and call us "ninnies" for some fucking reason until the refs told him to shut the fuck up.
Then after he was finally told "shut up or don't come back" we had a conversation, and his excuse was that he read all the redwall books and liked them a lot, so I made a point to never read those books
