    When I was 12, my mum told my teacher that I found the books we were reading for class childish. Teacher then gave me IT to read instead. No idea what he was thinking. Being the same age as the characters, the sex scene was the most traumatizing by far.

      Wow. Thankfully my teacher had better sense (or maybe not); when he asked why I wasn’t doing silent reading of our course textbook, I told him I read the whole text the night before or on the weekend. He was pissed at first…and was yelling about it. Not sure why. But next day he must of realized he overreacted and brought in the Battlefield Earth tome for me. It was the thickest book I’d ever seen, and kept me busy. Something like 900 pages maybe. Lol.
