This seems to be an interesting list.
I read a few of the books when I was 12 or so:
Lady Chatterly's lover was, together with books as
Nana by Emile Zola, on the not-to-be-read-at your age- list, so I read it and it disappointed me then. Much ado about nothing I thought…well…perhaps it's time for another try, but not now.
Andersen, of course is a classic; I wept bitter tears about the fate of the
Little Match Girl. The same fate for the
Farewell to arms and the
Grapes of Wrath that I read at an early, perhaps too impressionable age.
So, I think I will be voting, as Issybird and W.T.Sharp, for half of the list. The ones I don't know or was also on that above mentioned list (
Sappho, which I couldn't find at the time). Ahem.
