Amazon, or Apple, or whoever, can _try_ to evaporate them. I never really finished getting comfortable with Calibre. The incentive for Calibre was as a server for my (now-ex-) wife's i-pod reader. But an OS upgrade broke the reader, and I don't know if my wife ever did get back into e-reading at all. Other than the textbooks provided on a free iPad for her college courses. -- We are geeks.

I hope I can trust them. I don't like the kindle or kobo readers on the phone. So if I buy books (most often from Kobo, because I've figured out the crack) I turn them into unlocked ePubs that nobody can take back from me. Over the past decade, most of my book purchases have been from Baen, because they make getting books into my phone easy. (I never "cracked" the Palin biography. But I never got more than 2/3 of the way through it, either.) -- We are geeks. Resistance is voltage over current.

I grew up in a "drought" era for SF, so my read-everything reflex kept coming back to these. Bradbury never resonated well with me. Norton seemed overrated. Anything by Van Vogt was horrid. Nothing by Zelazny really worked for me, except "Doorways in the Sand" which my internal indexing scheme continues to insist was a Robinette. (Maybe that's why I liked it?) -- We are geeks.

I read my niece's copy of the first one over a Christmas holiday visit back in the '90s. My response was that it was solidly in the tradition of British children's literature that an adult could enjoy reading, but nothing extraordinary. I read half of the second one the following year's visit, but didn't have time to finish it. I have never bothered to finish it. My ten-year old daughter just last week asked for a copy. She is into Hunger Games, which is very current with her generation. (It can't be a good thing that a ten year old knows the word "dystopia" and can use it correctly in a sentence.) My sense was that Harry Potter was passe with the elementary school set. She has known about it all along, but never was interested.

My sense was that Harry Potter was passe with the elementary school set. She has known about it all along, but never was interested. So I was surprised when she asked for it, but happily got her a copy. Maybe I will borrow it to see if my opinion changes. I give credit to Rowling and her editors for launching a series where the child characters age with the target reading audience. OK, so others have done that, but I am much more familiar with multi- volume kids' series where the protagonists stay close to the same age, maybe aging one or two years over the entire series. Whether we are talking Ramona Quimby or Rabbit Angstrom, detailing the long unfolding* of a person's life can be tricky. The US doesn't have as strong a "school story" tradition as the UK has, though most "kids my age" might have at least seen a movie version of "Tom Brown's Schooldays" or "Goodbye, Mr Chips." Then there was Knowles' "A Separate Peace," assigned reading for us in second year of High school. ["...my knees bent, and I jounced the limb." See, Sr Evelyn, I still remember it!] Perhaps kids in the US respond as much or more to the unusual- to-them boarding school setting as they do to the magickal schtick? Kevin R

The boarding school setting removes those dedicated enemies of adventure: parents! As you know, Bob, missing parents, or dead ones, or ones living in Deepest Peru while one stays with relatives or is sent off to school, is almost an requirement of childrens' adventure stories. Not every kid is lucky enough to be a Quest or a Hardy, scoffing at the DCF or CPS bureaucrats' notions of what is "good clean fun" for kids or teens v "child endangerment." Edward Stratemeyer had huge success with the much imitated "Rover Boys." They were 14-16 when sent to military school. ES made a mint on them, and others that followed: Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Bobbsey Twins, and, of course, Tom Swift. I think I first encountered the Rover Boys in the Warner cartoon parody, "The Dover Boys." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dover_Boys The Rovers grew up, had kids, and the 2nd generation had their own book series. Same for Tom Swift and TS, Jr. Kevin R * With the editorial contributions of her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, being significant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Wilder_Lane

I have the horrible suspicion that both the most recent posters were using unclear antecedents. I read these posts as saying that Wilder and the "Anne of Green Gables" series did the same thing as the "multi-volume kids' series where the protagonists stay close to the same age", not the same thing as "the child characters age with the target reading audience". That said. I bailed after Wilder's first book. I'm not sure either reading of Ms. Heydt's post correctly describes the series, from what I remember of the inquiries I made *before* reading that book, but years later I have no business arguing. On the other hand: > See also: Anne of Green Gables. I haven't re-read these in some time, so can't go by memory here, but I remember paying a lot of attention to chronology when I wrote about Montgomery's series in my book log, and remembered right. Here's what I said back in 2007, with publication years inserted: | <Anne of Green Gables> [1908] ... Other men not fathers of girls | may need to be told that it's the story, ages 11 to 16, of an | extraordinary orphan girl (Anne Shirley) and the ordinary people | who adopt her. These sequels, while none as good, don't let down | the side. <Avonlea> [1909] shows Anne as a young teacher; in | <Island> [1915], she's in college and in love; <Rainbow Valley> | [1919] has her kids young, <Rilla> [1921] older and involved in | both love and war; <House of Dreams> [1922] covers the first year | or two of Anne's marriage ... (Later in the log I discussed the other two sequels published in the 1930s, but without similar attention to chronology. They're both infill books, however, so problematic for any claim Montgomery used Rowling's strategy; <House of Dreams> is also an infill book.) Anyway, what I said isn't consistent with either reading of your post. Montgomery didn't keep Anne the same age even in the first book; nor did she age her a year per book, *nor* publish a book per year. Can you show that I was wrong? Otherwise, could you please explain what you meant? Joe Bernstein -- Joe Bernstein <Kdeurama@gmail.com>

I think the lack of clarity is in your own mind. The paragraph had a special credit to Rowling, so this was (to me) clearly the "thing" to which Dorothy indicated when she said that Wilder did the same. And of course, the most basic of research would have told you that. > That said. I bailed after Wilder's first book. I'm not sure either > reading of Ms. Heydt's post correctly describes the series, from what > I remember of the inquiries I made before reading that book, but > years later I have no business arguing. Wilder's books were roughly autobiographical. Reportedly she changed the age of her character in the first book at the suggestion of the publisher (to make her a few years older) but skipped some events before the next book so that the ages were basically correct from that point on.
