THIS
also, The Redwall Series
I also read a lot of Stephen King, starting around age 10 or so. Reading was about the only way to shut me up when i was young, and my aunt had a bunch of his books lying around so i guess it was the logical solution
i have a serious problem with this.

I, too, have the Wiki-mania. I suffer similar symptoms on YouTube and StumbleUpon.

I didnt read at all when I was under 16-17, except few books for school.
But among those I read:
The Diary of Anne Frank - I was around 12 when I read it and adored it. Felt like I understand Anna very good.
Around 17 it was Catcher in The Rye.
around 18 it was Steppenwolf

This will not end well...
But it will at least be poetic, I suppose...
Hmm... But what if it does end well?
Then I suppose it will be a different sort of poetry, a preferable sort...
A sort I could become accustomed to...

I used to read my grandmothers Encyclopædia Britannica set when I went over to her house. My aunts medical books were over there as well but they took those away from me after I showed them the section about pelvic exams... There was a picture of a woman undergoing a speculum exam and it showed all of THAT. I don't know why they let me read that book in the first place though because it had some very mature pictures in it.
