Liz, I remember having to read "Great Expectations" at age
twelve, and really struggling. I like Dickens now, but wouldn't
call him a favourite. Thomas Hardy didn't make much sense to me
then either, but I gave him another go in my early twenties and
since then have read nearly all his novels and many of his short
stories. But I'm not sure I'll ever read Shakespeare, though
I can enjoy watching his plays, with audio-description. Eve

I do think there are quite a few books and authors who are
introduced to
children at too young and age.
I read anything and everything as a youngster, but was put off
most of the
Classics by having to read them and dissect them at too young an
age. Some
I have come to love (eg Jane Austin), some I have come to like
(eg George
Elliot, Anne Bronte) and others I still don't like (eg Charlotte
Bronte)!
I still can't read Dickens or Shakespeare!!
