Saw the movie:

Listened to a Jefferson Airplane song that uses the title:
Go Ask Alice by Anonymous

Adopting the version of the facts most favorable to the plaintiff I have "read" 24 of these.

I've done a few Waldos with the girls. I guess I assumed that this was a different thing.

Gee, I thought I was well read and all, but I only came up with 27... Mercer Mayer? Shel Silverstein? Some people's children are really deprived. Not that Night Kitchen is as good as Where the Wild Things Are or anything- the issue there must be in the illustrations(you can see a little boy naked)
Any way, I think I need to read more. Does it count if I watched The Dead Zone on tv? once? because then I've got 28...
