I have decided to read the Percy Jackson books because everyone I personally know makes references to them, but I haven't read the books or seen the movie. I'm not opposed to reading YA fiction because even most adult fiction is below my reading level (thanks, hyperlexia...been this way my whole life) and it's mostly safe on trauma triggers.

I already love page 1!

@weirdfizz After years of reading along w my kid, I have found Rick Riordan is a much better writer than most YA authors. Protip: Avoid Christopher Paolini like the plague.

@AmserJ Paolini wrote those dragon books, right? Somehow, those never appealed to me. I get weirdly picky about dragon stories.
