Fellowship includes the anachronistic line "The dragon passed like an express train, turned a somersault, and burst over Bywater with a deafening explosion"

I never read these when I was a child, so 17/26 isn’t a bad score.

Good news! You can still read them as an adult. In fact, you can read whatever books you want.

You make a good point. I’ve enjoyed watching Disney princess films with my daughter, and in that sense they’re not just for children.

That's the spirit! :D And if that kind of old fashioned, high fantasy/adventure isn't your jazz that's okay too! I just am bothered by people automatically labeling things as being "for kids" when they can be enjoyed by peeps of all ages, and you clearly get that.
