[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will she read long novels? I know these are dated but when I was 13-15 I read some chunkers, like The Far Pavilions, Sarum, Thornbirds (although I guess that's romance, but it's not sex scenes), First Man in Rome, etc. I look back so fondly on those days when I had time to really sink into long books.[/quote] +1 - I read so quickly and so often that I was excited to have a book that actually lasted me a few days. My mom bought me the first Outlander book one summer, which was really not that age appropriate, but I remember being excited to have something so long to read. Thornbirds was another one that I loved. Hawaii by James Michener was a dense read around that age and I really got into it and the history of Hawaii. Thornbirds didn't age that well with all the Catholic priest abuse headlines later. [/quote]
