I totally agree with you. This was about ten years ago. I've been reading the same types of books all of my life from elementary, middle, high school and college, never giving a damn what "reading level" they were at. A good book is a good book and no one should be able to tell me what I can and cannot read.

I grew up in a very small town so that may have accounted for some things.

In third grade, I was reading at a high school level. I was really into Harry Potter and I was told that I couldn't read it anymore because it was too advanced for the other children and it wouldn't be fair to them. I told my mother immediately and being an avid reader and writer herself, she was furious. My teacher compromised with my mom in that I could continue reading the books in secret and I was not to "brag." In fourth grade, I was told that I could not read the "Spooksville" series anymore because it was below my level. I couldn't understand it because I just like the stories and didn't give a damn about the "reading level."
