My secret adolescent book was Candy- don't remember the author, but a movie starring Richard Starkey (Ringo Starr). My group of 13 year old friends passed it around, and I recall having to lock the door to the bathroom in order to read it!!! Rather hot, if I recall! Best Stephen in Vancouver
"Rick, so glad I'm not the only list member who came to adolescence in the late 60's/early 70's and remembers sneaking peaks at "Valley of the Dolls" as a rite of passage! I was 12 when I read the whole darn thing, but didn't have to visit Mrs. Teal's trash can: it was sitting right there on my parents' bookcase. I strongly suspect that my mother knew, but she never said a word. <g>, Mary P."
