Let me get the message out clearly from the start. I hate Winnie the Pooh. Many people believe that Disney has made a mockery of classic fairy tales and other stories. I wouldn't count myself among them, but in this case I was actually hoping those opinions would ring true. After reading Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls I thought I would look for a "classic" that was a little more lighthearted and a quicker read. A. A. Milne's Pooh seemed to be a good choice. Man I chose the wrong book. Story after story of this asinine bear and his equally aggravating friends kept this book on my shelf far too long.

That's awesome... I have a Duck Tales book for you when you're done :)
Nice pick. What's next, a mixed tape of Winger songs and a video tape recording of Small Wonder?
