Have you ever read any books which are older than you?

[GirlNextDoor15]

I have and one of them was Rasputin by Jane Oakley. This book was published on 1989 and I was very fortunate to find it in a public library. Other than that was The Private Life Of Chairman Mao by Li ZhiSui and it was published on 1994. Just a few months older than me but still. :) What about you?

I don't think I have. I haven't read many books in my life so I very much doubt the ones I've read are older than me. :P

I read the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy ages ago. I think its older than me?

Not sure. Thats the only possibility though I think.

[Samantha]

I've sorta read A Clockwork Orange, that should be older than me. Didn't understand it much. Also read lots of Roahl Dahl and Charles Dickens too!

[Jurv]

[Suspective]

I have for English GCSE. Such as Of Mice and Men and Rome and Juliet for starters.

[Sloths]

I've read heaps, most of them are really good books once you get into them. Plus you have to read those types of books in English as the one I've got atm is 1985 but some of the classics are really good :)

[kitten]
