It’s hard. I love Harry Potter. I love Ender’s Game. But their authors hate the people I love. Not personally. They don’t know them and hate them anyway. It makes me sad. I want to share those books.
But I guess it’s better to share books by people who don’t hate my friends. I’ll always have Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I’ve been sharing The Golden Compass with my kids lately.
Harry Potter was good. But I can live without it in my life. I think I will keep sharing Ender’s Game though.
I understand why Harry Potter found a place in everyone’s hearts. But with the behavior of the author, the books are in hindsight a lot more mean spirited than I remembered. That hatred for me and my loved ones bled into the books quite a lot now that I can recognize it.
