I did once try to read my mom's original language copies of Don Quixote and The Stranger. Didn't get very far.

There were only two books in my house that I was told were off limits - Little Birds by Anaïs Nin and Tropic of Cancer/Capricorn by Henry Miller. And yet I preferred the public library to the literal walls full of bookshelves at home.

I also read Helter Skelter in that era. Funnily enough, I read My Sweet Audrina in high school, but didn't pick up any of the Flowers in the Attic books until college.

Lots of folks on here being like "uh actually this is proper legal procedure" and I'm sure the starving children will be glad to hear
