I remember reading "Bridge to Terabithia" as a kid. Confusing? What the heck are they talking about? It's about a couple of lonely kids who play that they are the king and queen of an imaginary world. It's not a "fantasy" book. There's hardly even any fantasy IN it. Any kid who reads it and gets all confused about reality must have had a lobotomy or something.
Lists like this merely prove to me that the world is being run by stupid people.
