I'd be interested to know if you've read The Tale of Despereaux, and if so, what you think of it. I'm halfway through it, and I dunno if I'm paranoid or if the author is inserting a subliminal anti-Catholic message regarding the sacrament of confession. Certainly the book includes the rather silly idea that non-conformity is a virtue in itself (whereas in actuality it depends, of course, on what you are or are not conforming with).
