Did you read any adult books when you were a teenager or younger?

Always did. I remember reading Gargantua and Pantagruel by Rabelais when i was 8 and thinking "Wow! Now that's a weird book!" lol Not that i understood much of it but i thought it was funny. Read Bulgakov at 10,loved that and still love him. Sneaked a copy of Lolita from the family library at the age of 11,my mother wouldn't have approved but i think it's a beautiful book. Even at that age i thought there was nothing offensive or obscene in Nabokov's works

hi Bd same with me.I have read lots of adult books as a teenager. My mom opened her own bookshelf for me that meant being extra careful with her stuff but it was worth it. I didnt go for these classics you mentioned but I read Gone with the Wind quite young, and some others where I dont know the title in English, she gave to me. I read some stuff by Pearl S. Buck I got from my mom and also my first book by Ernest Hemingway.

I was reading adult books before I became a teenager. I had to get my mother to help me get an adult library pass. I read a fair few classics as I recall, but not War & Peace or Crime & Punishment (still haven't read them, although I've got copies of both).

i did read a few adult books whenever i was in my earlier teen years and i don't know what the names of them were right off the tops of my head...but i mean they were just so much more intersteing to me then the rest of them..because i knew that they were n't exactly for my age group and it made me wonder what was in them and i tried a few of them...

Ugh! I can't stand narrowminded ppl like that!! That just drives me nuts....

As for me reading adult books when I was a kid...I really dont remember but knowing me I wouldnt be suprised at all...Both my kids love reading some of my books...My daughter is goin on 13 and she's been reading my books for some time now..ranging in authors from Edgar Allen Poe to Christopher Moore (which she's reading right now) and not too long ago she was reading one of my George Carlin books LOL..she also likes getting into my spirituality books too..My son has read my Books of Blood (clive barker), some of my Poe and some of my Lovecraft, my Satanic Bible, my Christian bible (only part of it) and a few others of mine....

Yeah I read a lot of adult books most of them were classics others were just books from now from like Stephan King and such authors. I've always read books above my reading level because I really like to read.

I read many books by Ayn Rand as a teenager. They had a major impact on me.

I read adult books too at a very young age. I just hate it when people dismiss you because of age. As if you're young so you can't be smart, or have a valid opinion.
I read the Iliad at age 13, not an easy read by any means, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and fully understood it. Brave New World, 1984, Dune, around the same age, maybe 14. Reading is my passion, obsession even. And it was those very books that I read at a young age that set me upon this course.
Don't worry about others thinking you're too young, they are ignorant, the fact is that whatever their age is, they probably don't understand the book themselves, so they can't conceive of you understanding it.

I've read any aduilt books and I don't like it

off course,i read most of the adult books that suits me the best.Adult books are knowledge gaining books,i mean it provides a lot of information for adults or teenagers.....It totally useful for us and i urge all of the adults to have this book...
