I think I am the only person on the Internet who isn’t shrieking in terror over this acquisition.
All I Do Is Read, Read, Read No Matter What
Got books on my mind; I can never read enough.
A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.

But while she looked like a butterfly, clinging to a blade of grass, and just about to open its rainbow wings for fresh flight, her heart ached with horrible despair.

+ Harry Potter Books : Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
[Parents should] recommend some books with female leads that your son would enjoy reading. If your next question is “Why?,” then ask your daughter why she liked Harry Potter. She might say it was a good story, great characters, and a fantastic world. Who cares if the main character was a boy? In fact, girls will pick up a book with a hero or heroine equally. According to my excellent librarian resources, boys will actively avoid books with a girl as the main character. What’s the problem? I have no idea. Why should you encourage your son to read books with heroines? That’s easy. You want your son to grow up knowing that a strong female for a friend, wife or boss is normal and good.
