Are you a reader.....

As an adult what was the first adult book you read. In my case I was 14. It was 1963 and I read Nevil Shute's The Chequer Board. I became a great fan of his and have read all his books. Some great some not so good. So over to you. What was your first adult read?

I remember reading Uncle Tom's Cabin in primary school, and being picked to read some of it out - OK to read silently, but it was all in Deep South patois and very hard to read out loud!

How funny mic ... What did ur parents say?

They were not impressed evedawn. Their answer was "Anyone who can interest a child to read a book can't be that bad" It was a Catholic school, if that makes a difference.
