I did English at university and I'm an omnivorous reader. I read contemporary literary fiction, the classics, children's fantasy, crime, the lot. But I've also lost count of how many times I've reread Antonia Forest's children's books (she wrote a series of books about a family called the Marlowes, the first of which was set in the 1940s. Four are 'school stories' but not dumbed down like Enid Blyton). I reread them when I need a bit of cheering up/an easy, comforting read. They've something of a cult following now (so I know I'm not alone) and when they were republished by Girls Gone By they sold out and went out of print almost immediately.

I love to dig out my Judy Blume books to read. I'm saving them for my daughters for when they are teenagers. I remember reading Forever when I was a young teenager. Still my favourite Judy Blume book to this day followed by Tiger Eyes. I also read Chicken Soup For The Teenagers Soul even though I'm 34. We were all teenagers once and we can still relate to the stories. There are many teenager books on my Christmas wish list LOL

Being nearly 70, I've found the the meanings of any book I've read again and again through the years slowly change. I read Heinlein's (oops! Azimov) Foundation trilogy and Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn many times since I read both as a teenager.

Jayne Eyre.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Charles Dickens.
Only wished some of the younger generation would pick a book now and the instead of either being glued to PS/PC/Mobile Phones.

I still read books I first met as a teenager, eg Georgette Heyer who still comes over as a great writer. I also still read, and collect, girls school story writers such as Elsie Oxenham , Elinor Brent Dyer and Dorita Fairlie Bruce. I came across Antonia Forest, mentioned in another answer but can't stand her or her characters. I am nearly 64

No but i sometimes read books from my childhood. I recently re-read watership down. Not only was it fantastically nostalgic I'm now at an age that appreciate the genius of the writing. I recommend it.

Haha, I read kids/teen books all the time.
My justification for it is that sometimes you just aren't up to reading something very challenging, so I'd rather read a good kid's book than a crap adult one.
Or maybe I just have a touch of the Peter Pan syndrome.

I still read some of those books. I read grown up books and even sometimes children books for fun. A couple years ago I found myself reading "Charlotte's Web" just for fun. I like to mix it up.
