My mother tried to keep me from reading certain books at a young age Camilla Send a noteboard - 28/09/2010 12:57:05 AM
and in retrospect I agree. It wasn't about sexual content or violence or horror, it was about completely missing the point. The most interesting example is when I read A Doll's House by Ibsen (she had told me not to), and I assumed Nora was nuts -- I had much sympathy for her poor husband, afflicted with an insane wife. Until I read it again later on.
