4. This is why I have been trying to get my daughters to read

some of the English classics (which were popular literature in their day). I have a stack of Wells, Stevenson, Twain, Bronte, etc that I am trying to get my girls to read. These were standards for me when I was a kid (along with London, Dumas etc). Even though they consume Harry Potter it is no go for these books (at least to this point). I am not asking them to read Joyce (which I think is highly overrated). I can't believe one generation makes so much difference.
