Question

Is it alright for an adult to read children books?
I am an adult now, but there are some series from when I was a kid that I still would like to read now even after giving it up do to business for a few years. I used to read the magic tree house, Fudge series, etc. I read them as kid and now as an adult would it be wrong to start reading them again. It does seem embarassing to be reading a kids book.

Answer

Nothing binds us in lasting relationships with the books we read the way childhood books do. Their pages shaped our creativity, nurtured our innocence, smiled benignly at our efforts to make better and more colorful sense of their upsidedown images and letters, accomodated our own images of how the stories might be better illustrated...they held our own little world.brbrOur adulthood makes us reticent, limiting our public posturing within the dictates of public propriety.brbrSo what if we read our book. Let them die of envy at our prerogative to reclaim the joys of our innocence. Pity the souls who have lost ther triggers to tangential insights, lost the tactile connection to the simpler joys of childhood, grown amnesiac to reminiscences of places and people in the stains or crumbs embedded in the pages.brbrIf you must, wrap it in an quotadultbookquot cover. You may even read it upside down, informing anyone who cares to ask that youre training yourself to read upside down the way some select people train themselves to. I bet youquotll mean it, too.brbrHappy journeys!
