   I emphatically disagree, but obviously, this is a matter of differing   
   tastes. I must confess that I am puzzled by your placing children's books   
   such as "Alice" in the same genre as "The Master and Margarita", which is   
   written for quite different purposes, including faith and social satire.   
   Anyway, whether they belong in the same genre or not, I do like "The Master   
   and Margarita" better.
