[One of my kids ]is not named after Aldous Huxley. I haven't even read Brave New World!
Read the book you do honestly feel a wish and curiosity to read.
I meet a lot of readers who first encountered my work in school. And I can only assume there is another group who would run away very fast if they saw me coming, for exactly the same reason. Reading is individual, and not all tastes are alike.
Personally, I don't pick books for how people think about me. I read books so I can learn.
I read books I hate all the time, and I don't mention them or talk about them.
And if the reader has no taste for what he reads, all the time is wasted
Every reader is different. There's no book that's inappropriate for every person, but there are people who cannot handle everything.
I don't do a lot of foisting, because when it comes to books I don't really like to be foisted upon.
