The problem with reading classics to your children

The problem with reading classics to your children is that when you overhear them talking to their friends about the latest great book you are all reading the response is invariably, "Oh, I saw that movie! It was good!" (You think the movie was good? Try reading the book!)

At what point do my kids come to question why it seems to be that everyone else pops in the DVD instead of cracking open a tome? Thankfully, not yet anyway.
