Have you ever taken against a book, given up on it, but then, at another time in your life, given it another shot and loved it?
Have you ever taken against a book, given up on it, but then, at another time in your life, given it another shot and loved it? Interested in examples and explanations for why. #books

I was forced to read Wuthering Heights at school and I HATED it with a passion! Everyone in it was cruel, selfish, petty...and yet people called it a love story. Ugh. Then I grew up and had to teach it, and came to understand what it has to say about class, gender, otherness.

I never took against Catcher in the Rye so not quite what you asked but it was a different book when read in my teens then twenties. Picked it up in my 30’s when young son had leukaemia and the grief hit me like a ton of bricks. I’d barely seen Holden’s lost brother Allie before.
