I am on a one-year introductory subscription to the Wall Street Journal (at a fabulous savings). I enjoy and profit from the general interest stories fully as much, or more so, than the economic articles. I missed reading Rudyard Kipling when I was growing up and articles like this one tempt me to pick up a Jungle book on my next trip to the library.
"The defining quality of great children's literature is persistence: It stays with the reader with undiminished vitality into adulthood."
That quote from the Kipling article reminds me of C.S. Lewis's astute comment:
"No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty--except, of course, books of information. The only imaginative works we ought to grow out of are those which it would have been better not to have read at all."
