A truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A good book written for children can be read by adults.
I've never read a young adult novel, though. I'm sure I would love it, but I've never read one.
Some of my favorite books to read are young adult books.
I've always been drawn to writing for young readers. The books that I read growing up remain in my mind very strongly.
I think any good literature, whether it's for children or for adults, will appeal to everybody. As far as children's literature goes, adults should be able to read it and enjoy it as much as a child would.
I think it's so important for young readers to find a book or series that ignites their passion for reading, especially boys, whose interest in reading wanes as they grow older.
I think 'The Road' is a good example of a book everyone should read, but I wouldn't recommend it to young kids.
I'm looking forward to writing more novels for young adults.
The delight of opening a new pursuit, or a new course of reading, imparts the vivacity and novelty of youth even to old age.
Right away I think of two books - 'Wuthering Heights' and 'Rebecca' - and of just sinking into them as a young reader. I think they must have appealed not just to my romantic adolescent soul, but I suppose there's also an appealing darkness in both of them.
