i know all about john bunyan mate. He's an honest bedfordshre boy, was in nick at bedford I think. His name is all over the place. never read the book though.
someof these books - animal farm, lord of the flies etc - i didn't read till i was 14 or more. was I a bit slow. I was talking books you read when you were under 10yo |

I read Lord of the Flies when i was ten.
Was ill in bed that day and couldn't stop reading. Obviously very affected by the shocking bits. |
|
By:
bloody hell. did lord of the flies as part of my gcse too. got to watch the film too.
|
|
By:
The film was haunting to watch as a kid.
Especially the bit where the body floats away with the choir singing. |

Animal Farm isn't a children's book. HTH
|
|
By:
Neither is Lord of the Flies.
they were books read as chiildren though which is what the OP actually said HTH |
|
By:
That would depend on your definition of "child".
And Lord of the Flies is a children's book. |

ridiculous to say that animal farm is not a children's book. i can't have been any older than 13 when i read it, which i think legally means i was still a child, and i absolutely loved it. so what that i didn't understand the book's greater meaning? after muhammad ali, boxer remains my all-time hero!

|
|
By:
Yes it's short and easy to read, but so is Siddartha, is that a chidren's book?

It is good, though she might give you a blank stare after reading it.
I think our definition of "child" might be different here. I assumed the OP was referring to the under 10s, not the post-pubescent. |
|
By:
he did mean that slim, he said later. i'm honestly hard pressed to think of any i read. no lie, i used to have hamlyn's children's bible and i loved that as a very young kid. let's face it, that was all fiction. failing that i used to read those rubbishy michael hardcastle football books and lapped them up. and the famous five, ahem.
