So, is it bad...

That I still enjoy children's books at age 18? redface I just finished Coraline by Neil Gaiman and I just adored it. Does anyone else still read and enjoy children or teen books?  

[Serein Wolfe]

I still enjoy teen books. Have you ever read In the Forests of the Night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes or any of the twenty-some books by Tamora pierce? They're great. Of course, I'm about three years younger than you, but that doesn't really matter; I say read what you like.

It doesn't matter at all. I love to read all books, whether they are for people either too old or too young. Although, does that count, since I'm only thirteen? I read a book a little while ago, The Girl With Silver Eyes, and I loved it, even though it was for littler kids.

I love Amelia Atwater-Rhodes' books! Have you read Demon in my View? Fantastic book. I still have a bunch of Dr. Suess books, too, for some odd reason. And The Superlative Horse...  

[red_moon_wolfess]

I love them still! If I could find any books by Bruce Covall I would still read them to this day! Have you ever read Jaramy thatcher, Dragon hatcher By Bruce Covall? that was one of my first books and I wish I could find it again!

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

I think it always depends on the child's book... there are some child's books that most adults will not get any enjoyment out of reading themselves. It is still worth reading to my younger sibling. Although, I love Judy Blume's books, it's always interesting reading her books intended for the adult crowd and then switching to her children's books. And I love reading children's books with illustrations by Brian Froud... very mystical work, love it!!

By the way, I've never read anything by Neil Gaiman, but I'm an intense fan of one of his very close friends, Tori Amos. I hear references to "Neil" all the time in her music... what is his literature about? What's his style?  

[Saffyre Tempest]

I'm eighteen and I still love books by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. She's a great writer, despite her target audience being teenagers.

Sometimes I rent those little kid how to draw books from the library. I think that is more embarrasing than that. Books for all ages are good for anybody really. I still know where my Hundred Spooky Tales book is... and that is for third graders.  

[Setsu-P has stepped out]

L.M. Montgomery.. the Anne of Green Gables books. Every once in a while, I'll reread them just for fun.

Jane Yolen, every once in a while.

The Last Unicorn and The Neverending Story. I saw the movie for Neverending Story long before I ever read the book, and didn't realize what I'd been missing until then. Though I do think they did a decent job with the first movie.. despite the giant flying cocker spaniel.

Diane Duane, if anyone's read her books. There were three of the "Wizards" books when I got hold of them first, and they seem to have expanded into an entire series since then. I'm curious about checking the newer ones out, but also somewhat apprehensive. Enjoying the original three as much as I did, I'd hate to find out the later books aren't so good.

Most of the juvenile fiction books I read, I have here at home, as I always feel like a criminal creeping around in the Children's Section of the local library.

I finally finished the Tamora Pierce series, and there are only 14 of them, not 20 close enough though :: has all of them :: But I am still a teen so it's alright that I read those. xd

I switch between college level books, learn to read books, and Bruce Coville books all the time. I'll probably still do it when I'm 1000 if I still can see. If not I'll just learn brail and do the same thing lol. Read what you want! The variety makes all books better (or shows just how horrible one was)
