Lisa Wrote:OMG, you will not believe this... but the first two adult books my mom gave me to read were Clan of the Cave Bear and Valley of the Horses! Sex, rape, a brutal birth scene, and more sex! No wonder I am so warped today. Then she gave me The Shining. ROTFL. I think AEOTS is pretty tame compared to those choices!
Well, I dunno about "Clan of the Cave Bear" and "Valley of the Horses", but now I have an interest to them.
When I was 15, I read The Shining.....it was the first King's book to me.
Wow, that's awesome. The first adult book I read was An Old Friend of the Family by Fred Saberhagen, which I read when I was 11. 11 seems to be the magic number. 
The next two were The Dracula Tape by Fred Saberhagen and Interview with a Vampire by Ann Rice. I'm seeing a theme here...

How many vikings does it take to change a light bulb?
None. The light from the burning monastery is more than sufficient.
May the Norse be with you.

One of the things I'm most pleased about with my kids is that they both became readers and have even dabbled in writing. It's true what they say... if you want your kids to be lifelong readers, read to them when they're young.
I don't remember the first "grown-up" book I read. I do remember getting questioning glances from some librarians when I'd go up to the counter with a stack of books that they obviously considered beyond my age-level.
