I think that it's fine to read books outside of the recommended reading age. In most childrens books, there is an innocence that you probably wont find in adult books. Vice versa as well, there are some things in adult books that would never in a million years be included in a childs book.... neutral >

Literature is Literature.
I think it would be retarded for somebody to dislike literature just because it was for a younger age of readers.
I just recently completed my first year of college, and I still enjoy reading books marked at 6th grade reading levels.

Obiageli A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle will always be one of my favorite books. This book has it all: It has the usual battle between good and evil and the ultimate triumph of love. 3nodding This book has a fun sci-fi space travel element. ninja This book also more generally celebrates human creativity and individuality, hailing as heroes the greatest creative geniuses in the arts and sciences, including Einstein, Bach, da Vinci, and Shakespeare. surprised No matter how old you are, this book can be read over and over, when your are old...read it to your kids! heart [Trigger fingers entwined...]
I completely love Madeleine L'Engle... All of her books. The whole series. Wow, I need to re-read those!
[...I knew this was our time.]

The Snow Spider by Jenny Nimmo. It's a deceptively simple book and I'll keep reading it for years to come, I swear.

I still love the Dr. Seuss books. He was a genius at writing and rhyming.

NAH! I can still be found in the children's section of a book store.
I've loved The Little Prince since I was a wee one, along with The Velveteen Rabbit.
Am I less of a man for that? emo

I think we can all agree that there is nothing wrong with liking books that are a lower reading level. It is fun to read easy novels sometimes. And it keeps our minds open wide to all the possibilities of the world. It also teaches us what interests yout hand small children nowadays and that is very important. by reading we know how corrupt or kind our society will be when teenagers are in charge of the world. its educational, but more importantly, it's really fun.

I'm 20 and I still read YA and some kids books, especially if it's an author I enjoyed when younger who just put out another book. I figure it doesn't matter as long as you enjoy the book. There are plenty of people who hardly read at all, so those of us who do read should feel free to read whatever the hell we want.
