• You can label these books shallow, but to be honest I'm not always up to be emotionally challenged by a read. Books, like films or TV shows, fill a certain need. Sometimes I want to watch a documentary on the arts, sometimes I want to laugh at knob jokes. It doesn't make one show shit and another show superior, they are simply diferent.

    When I was a kid I loved Secret Seven and Famous Five - these books got me reading - but I'd probably find them dull now.
