Well, it's genre fiction, so it's low-brow by ivory tower standards. I think I'm far enough removed from those years that I can safely read fantasy once again and enjoy it without worrying that they're going to come and strip away my degree.

I get your meaning, though. It's very "adult" in theme, but I was reading the Thieves World series in Junior High, so I've always read harsh fantasy from an early age. My parents didn't like me reading all of that "garbage", but they never censored me, either.
