My dear mum was exactly the same, the teachers in primary school contacted her in a panic about my book review on Flowers in the Attic & she told them I could ask if I had any questions. I’m still a voracious reader to this day and bringing up my 5 year old surrounded by books. I hope we can enjoy sharing our discoveries together the way you & Oscar do.

Very few books I have had to skip entire chapters but American Psycho was one of them, and I read it in my 30s!

It’s not an “Easy” read at times. That’s for sure. I remember sitting up at night absolutely intoxicated by it. It was so outrageous to a 15/16 yo to get to read this sort of thing.
