Query: My youth is dead...long live wisdom

Wow...I remember LOVING these books when I was a kid, so I decided to reread them recently. What a bad choice to make! All I managed to do was ask myself "what was I thinking?" and waste precious hours of my life dragging myself through page after page of the same banal, repetetive storys and narration, all set in a world that I could not care less about and that had no depth. Ugh. This is wretch.
