You've probably all heard about this infamous book, and how it's so adult, and not intended for people under the ages of 18, but come on!  When someone tells you specifically NOT to open the box, or in this case, NOT to read a book, what do you do?  You read it!  It's understandable that people like to d forbidden things, right?  No?  Okay, on to my next "reason"...
