it is very kind of you to assume my teenagerhood was not that long ago.

@fesshole

I read "Don't Shoot the Dog" as a teenager... and boy did some of the principles in that book help when dealing with small children.

@eniko

the cat I had as a teenager liked avocado.

I don't remember if she liked mayonnaise... but if I had to guess, I would say "yes".

@Njord

I wear respirators and smoked for 9 years (but quit more than a decade before 2020).

@ShaulaEvans

the Discworld series, of which Small Gods is the first one to have made my brain go "oh!"
Simon Winchester's Krakatoa and Outposts which made me realize that non-fiction could be an entertaining read.
Isabel Wilkerson's Caste because it gave me a different way of looking at how people interact with each other.
And Ursula Markham's How to Deal with Difficult People; it is a weird choice for a 13yo and deals with office life... but it helped me deal with my family a lot.

If I may add: get the Penguin Classics edition with the foreword by Vivien Jones. It adds a lot of context and explains little weird references in the text (through footnotes).
All that extra information added to my enjoyment of the novel.
