We moved at the beginning of the summer when I was 11. I spent the entire summer in the library and read every Barbara Cartland novel written. She wrote regency romance so not really trashy but historically fairly accurate. When I went to London as an adult it was almost like I knew my way around. It was kinda fun.Quality more than quantity.
Not saying the trashy romance novels are bad, I'm just saying there are many options to choose from. I read some terrible literature in High School that scarred me for life.
These days I have a broader interest and read most everything. It is amazing what you can learn even reading fiction.
