Just to be clear, as an example, I gave it to a friend of mine; she has a master's degree in art history and literature, and is specialised in folklore and fairytales. She found it a good and easy read, had some interesting remarks on it from a professional perspective.

A different friend is getting into Eastern philosophies, so I gave him the Tao of Pooh.

That's the kind of people I mean when I said "people who I think will appreciate it"

You're fine, I'm just having fun because that is one of the more divisive books out there and gets discussed here a lot because of it.

People either find it simple, beautiful and moving or they find it trite, facile garbage and there isn't a lot of room in the middle.
