I read Breakfast of Champions, around age 14, only because I saw that it was not kept with the general library collection, and was told that children needed permission to read it. My mom was reluctant but agreed, and that was my introduction to Vonnegut. I liked it. That underlined an interest in things singled out like that. For instance I read the cancelled stories on HN first, and while the signal-to-noise ratio is low I've found an unusual number of pearls in that pile too. If you want me to read something forbidding it is a great sales pitch. It's a shame that I've already read Margaret Atwood's oeuvre since now I can't read her with that extra spice.
