My mom decided to homeschool when I came home from school in first grade with the one age-appropriate library book I was allowed to check out, read the whole thing while standing in the doorway, tossed it on the floor, and never looked at it again. Heh.
I also read Pride and Prejudice, along with Jane Eyre, at eleven or twelve. I certainly disagree with the age-banding thing although it fills me with the eyeroll of irritation more than the capslock of rage. *eyeroll*
