And it's not going to ruin a kid's life to read a book that's "too old" for them. You don't have to be a teen to identify with a teenage character in a young adult novel. Adults can still enjoy a well-written kids' book. But beyond these extremes of reading comprehension, we don't really need age-specific genres. Sure, the simplest "I Can Read!" books might not be scintillating to highly educated 40-somethings, and I doubt that many toddlers are going to get a lot out of Infinite Jest. ![]() I am of the general opinion that we should not put age restrictions on books. ![]()
