I think it's a quite universal experience that some books you get too old for and others you are not enough to read. Most of those books I loved as a teeneger and in my early twenties, I would probably find pretty boring now - and when I read E. M. Forster as a teenager - or rather, I tried to - I was definitely not old enough. I have a couple of works by Thomas mann waiting in the bookshelf, for when I get old enough.
