Have a sudden worry I've messed up the poll - I ticked Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty/etc because I assumed you meant just the fairy tales - in Grimms - but now it occurs to me maybe you meant some individual books or something.
Re: classic books ... I read what I like, really - I don't much care if it's considered classic or not.
I didn't include grade level. Well, they are in order with some grade level/age in mind, but truthfully, everyone reads books at a different rate, and everyone's version of "grade level" differs.
Absolutely. Everyone reads at their own rate, and should be allowed to do so. It used to be one of the things I hated most of all about being a kid - people telling me I was "too young" for a particular book. They didn't manage to stop me, though - I'd just pick up the book whenever they weren't around, and read it anyway. I read some very odd things when I was a child. Robert Heilein and L Ron Hubbard, for example. *snort*
