Being young enough not to know better? That's the ideal age to enjoy a book. I was impressed by Dune as young man. Re-reading it when ereaders first came out, my impression of the book diminished. I read Moby Dick when I was 14. Reading it again decades later ... still amazed by the quality of the writing and depth of the story. A book that holds up over time is a true testament to the greatness of the author. Kids may laugh at Homer's Iliad and the Odyssey, but I bet these two works will still be cherished after Twilight and Harry Potter are buried deep in a landfill.
