What is the first adult book you remember reading as a kid?

What’s the first adult book you remember reading as a kid?

Someone posed this question last week and I thought it would be a fun way to kick off my new Sunday Follower Check-in!

If you’ve been following me for any amount of time, you know I loved posting these on Friday to say hello, wrap up the writing week, and provide a space for a weekend discussion thread.

Typically they’ve been focused on health through a sobriety lens, and certainly anyone should feel welcome to reach out if that’s one your mind. But I’m mixing it up for my first time back in a while.

This post has been on a bit of a hiatus lately due to time constraints, but I figured moving it from Friday to Sunday would allow me to carve out the time necessary to get it done.

Also, someone sent me a ludicrously generous tip yesterday and it reminded me how much I missed giving out my writer Tip of the Week.

OK, enough rambling.

Every week, I pose a question to get the discussion going. This week I’m asking:

What’s the first adult book you remember reading as a kid?

This is an easy one for me.

I was always a voracious reader as a kid, and around the time of the release of the first Jurassic Park movie, I decided I wanted to read Michael Crichton’s original book version. That would have put me around Age 12.
