>>>I've said it once on another HP list, and I'll say it until I'm blue
in the face if I have to. Just because a kid can READ it, doesn't mean
that the kid is READY for it. 'K? K.<<<<

>>I distinctly remember reading "The Razor's Edge," by Somerset Maugham,
in high school. Just recently I re-read the book. It was like reading
an entirely new story. The experiences I have been through during the
last 30 years gave an entirely new dimension to this book (one of my
all-time favs).

Danemead, so the teens on list don't get upset, let me add something. I'm
a pretty young adult--my 23rd birthday is Friday. I know more now than
when I was 16. I expect to know more when I'm 30 than I do now. That's
just life.

Could this be why most of my closest friends are in their 30s and
40s? Could this be why my fave shopping buddy is <gasp!> my 70 year old
grandmother, a very jazzy lady with nonstop energy? Hmmm...

Then again, I have loads of fun teaching and interacting with my
students. I also enjoy kidlit/family TV more than anything. Angst-ridden,
dotcom driven, MTV's Real World of young adulthood doesn't appeal to me.

Go figure.
