Today’s This or That Thursday:<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Dr. Seuss characters: the Cat in the Hat or the Grinch?<\/b>
\nWhen I was growing up, it was the Cat, but now that I’m older I’ve found the appeal of the Grinch.<\/p>\n

2. "Anne of Green Gables" or "Little Women"?<\/b>
\nHm, same thing here. I read all the Anne books as a kid and loved them, but then as an adult I read and loved Little Women.<\/p>\n

3. Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys?<\/b>
\nNancy Drew all the way, baby! I probably owned 75 of these at one point or another. Nancy’s Titian hair and roadster will always have a special place in my heart.<\/p>\n

4. Winnie the Pooh characters: Tigger or Eeyore? <\/b>
\nTigger. I gave up the goth pessimist stuff 10 years ago.<\/p>\n

5. Which author: Judy Blume or Beverly Cleary?<\/b>
\nJudy Blume. Who can forget Ralph?<\/p>\n

6. Roald Dahl books: "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory" (Willy Wonka) or "James & the Giant Peach"?<\/b>
\nCharlie and the Chocolate Factory, since I haven’t read James and the Giant Peach (or seen the movie, even).<\/p>\n

7. "Harry Potter" or "The Wizard of Oz"?<\/b>
\nThe Oz books are so classic that it’s hard to put anything above them, but I’ve found myself reading Harry Potter more often.<\/p>\n

8. Curious George or Madeline?<\/b>
\nCurious George, because I am too.<\/p>\n

9. "A Wrinkle in Time" or "Little House on the Prairie"?<\/b>
\nWrinkle in Time! And Wind in the Door and Swiftly Tilting Plant, and the Narnia books, and the Dark is Rising series, and and and…<\/p>\n

10. Dr. Seuss again: "Horton Hears a Who" or "The Lorax"? <\/b>
\nOh, the Lorax of course. I made Dad read that to me every night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
