There are few things that bug me more than someone on the Internet wanting to judge other people for what they're reading. Especially when it's kids, who are actually more discerning about what they're reading than these people give them credit for and really don't need their parents to mollycoddle them.
And wow, I wish I could cover all the books I felt were worthy of being read by the time I turn 30! But then, my TBR is full of YA SF/F, so I suppose none of that is actually worthy in this guy's eyes.
Honestly, I had a pretty sheltered upbringing, but my parent's never even looked at what I was reading. The only time I can recall anything was a facetious comment from my mother about whether I was old enough to read Bridget Jones' Diary at age 16 (we'd both seen and enjoyed the movie by that point so there was no real question).
