I decided that I wasn't ready for that. In exchange I went backward and read all the younger kids books I hadn't read. My guilty pleasure was Nancy Drew. Although, I will admit to a deep love of Dickens and read every one of his books before graduating high school.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02066282166494052315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755502616289652010.post-52630058570315023322009-10-24T15:57:03.383-05:002009-10-24T15:57:03.383-05:00My best friend in 7th would sneak her mother's...My best friend in 7th would sneak her mother's adult romance novels (and here I do mean "adult" in the x-rated sense) into social studies class.

In fact I still have a beloved tattered copy of "Love is One of the Choices."<br /><br />Then there was an adult romance about a woman who became a sex maniac after a heart transplant.

Some scenes are still seared in my brain. Also, Couples by John Updike made me feel smart and sassy.
