First time I read Bulgakov's "Master & Margarita" was when I was 7. Enjoyed it very much.

But it was only two years later that I read it again, and this time was left with no questions. See the first time I read it, many things were more grownup than my understanding of such matters could be at that age.

And unless it's "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality", I'm not that impressed anyway.

<sarcasm> Yes, we're all geniuses here </sarcasm>

I read The Master & Margarita when I was 9 (or 10) AND my first Harry Potter around the same time... and yes, I enjoyed both of them thoroughly! :)
