I'm pretty sure the mid-90s is that time period for sure.
There's now "lad lit", too, mostly taken from the chicklit craziness

That sounds fantastic! Truly. I'm going to have to go find it, for sure.

I agree with a lot of that - the ending really was...trivializing.

The Adventures of Huck Finn - Sawyer
Midsummer Nights Dream - Shakespeare
Short Stories - Edgar Allan Poe

I forgot about the song. Good point. And now i have the song in my head. "hey nonny, nonny.."
SO TRUE!
It was so crazed, but that *song*

I need help finding a book that I read when I was younger.
It's about two cousins - one Canadian, one Irish - and a bunch of fairies. They get dragged into a crazy adventure and have to save Faerie (I *think*).
Anyone?

But the worst? I'm going to use a graphic novel, but seriously? League of Extraordinary Gentlemen destroyed a fantastic premise.
