I disliked "On the Road" so much that I suspect there's a time and a gender for it ;).
When I was a kid, my dad always joined the local film club, and we got to see lots of films "too early". Hardly mattered. Still a big film-lover.
Sometimes I wish we'd teach kids to read. Not just the mechanics of it, but how to deal with words you don't know, and so on. That's a skill I've had since I was seven, but I keep meeting adult 'readers' who don't seem to have it at all. Sad.
