I have no shame for enjoying the entire Rick Riordan Olympian / Norse / Roman series. But I did have “reading to kid before bed” as an excuse.
I started the series as a teenager and I’m not going to stop just because I’m older now.
That said I was also reading my parent’s books when I was younger too. I grew up on Dan Brown and Clive Cussler just as much as I grew up on Rick Riordan and Anthony Horowitz. I feel like my taste in books has only devolved as I’ve gotten older if anything.
What about historical nonfiction?
Sounds like someone is shaming people who like adult books, rather.
No, it’s just saying adult books have heavy topics sometimes
If I say i think apples suck im not necessarily shaming people that eat apples
Hm, yeah you are.
Where does it say “sometimes”? If it did, I’d never have commented
Assumption on ny part. After careful consideration I think I was in the wrong in my comment
The “you tell me who’s winning” pretty much shows that that’s what they’re doing though…
what do you think the “who” is referring to?
no it doesn’t?
Shut up?
how about you improve your reading comprehension skills instead?
Nerd
beats being illiterate
In the mind of a nerd maybe
i mean i get it; to an illiterate, anyone with basic reading comprehension would look like a nerd.
Wasn’t Animal Farm marketed and widely believed to be a “kids” book??
It is part of the children education curriculum in the US for McCarthyism reasons.
I recently read Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea books, really interesting in that first half are kids lit and the second half were written 30 years later for a grown audience.
Best of both worlds! Though I did find the kids books way more fun.
Whoaaaaa! No way! I just finished the first one and loved it. Can’t wait to keep going. That’s so cool!
If you haven’t already check out the “shelved by genre” podcast. They just did the entire Earthsea series (over multi episodes) and the podcast is seriously hilarious and insightful.
I’ll try to remember that for when I finish the series
Don’t want to push it too hard, but they do two episodes per book. Best enjoyed by listening after you finish each book.
Yeah, you get to book 4 and you’re like "Is everything ok, Ursula?
This is why I read genre fiction rather than literary fiction. Sure, you and your book club can look down on me but until you’re reading a book that isn’t a variation on a theme of “unsuccessful professional moves back to coastal small town to look after their mother who has dementia”, yous can all get to fuck.
Eulaliaaaaaaa!!! I’ll defend my Redwall books to the hilt.
I read mostly three things: fanfics mostly on My Little Pony, literature for degree and scientific papers(mostly unrelated to degree).
Okay but why do you think adults having affairs are sad? They’re out there chasing tail and they’re getting some.
Getting tail without hurting someone elses feelings is not sad. But affairs are very sad, that person should have read the kids books. Kids books should have taught the lesson about doing the right thing even tho its hard.
even tho it’s hard
Sometimes literally
Damn it, I usually get these things right… not a native speaker…
I’m never ashamed of what books I read, especially since they are on a kindle and no one ever looks at the title. Besides, you’re just as likely to find LOTR, Dune, Foundations, pretty much anything from Dumas, among others on my kindle. If i’m reading books that are well written, have a decent plot and make me never want to put the book down, then who the fuck cares that I’m reading hunger games, harry potter or the golden compass… not any friend i’d want to keep.
Its the same with movies, though i find those less compelling overall. But damn if i’m not going to go see any new finding nemo or minions movie.
Someone needs to read better adult books.
My favorite romances definitely have happy people having affairs.
You want a sad book? Mr. Frumble, from that same worm driving an apple book, is a tragic character. In a single day the poor guy has tragedy after tragedy, probably costing him millions, and making him hated by his entire community. There’s no relief. There’s no mercy. His life is chaos.
He should get rid of that hat.
I’m an adult and proud that I don’t read this nonsense anymore. But what is the book where there is a magic tree house ? just so that I don’t read it mistakenly
It’s literally called Magic Tree House. It’s a series. The tree house is also a time machine and avenue becomes inevitable.
Avenue=adventure?
Yeah my bad, lemme fix that.
