Oh, that first book I read from the Adult side was Hubert Selby, Jr's Last Exit To Brooklyn. I had no idea that it had, at one time, been rated X and even banned. It was a bit rough but I realized that it was from the Adult side. Figured that was normal now that I'm not reading from the Children's side anymore. Little did I know. It all went weird from there. The whole pile of books that I brought home that day were some serious selections from Ken Kesey's One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest to Tom Wolf's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. I wasn't fooling around. About 6 books in all. Ended up reading every single one of them and loved them all.

My mom would do the same thing, almost. She would take me, my brother, and a couple neighborhood kids on a walk across town to the public library. We each picked out 1 or 2 books to bring home. What fun!Astrid Galactic wrote: ↑19 Oct 2019, 16:57 My mother use to take my brother and I to the library on occasion. Always loved those little excursions and the books that I took out. As I got a little older and independent enough to go on my own, my exploration around the library took me to different shelves. It was that fateful day when I took that turn to the other side of the library, into the Adult side, that my world was shaken to the core and my reading took off full force. When I could get away with it, I would fake being sick on a school day just so that I could stay home and stay in bed all day while totally immersing myself in a book. They were always good days.

I'm exactly the same. I've always been a reader. There was a small-time when I read less which was late secondary school, but I was still reading more books than the rest of my class combined. I have just always loved to read.JennyorAlice wrote: ↑25 Jul 2019, 10:54 Yes, I've always been a reader. I can't remember a time when I wasn't reading. Even before I was old enough to read on my own, I liked it when someone would read to me. But reading never did start at a certain age for me or with a certain book. It was something that has always been with me my entire life.

People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.
