I love the recent thread about a voraciously reading girl and have saved it for closer perusal.
My problem is I have a boy who is super academic but much less of a page-turning reader!!!
I would love help putting together a list for the next few years - books everyone ‘should’ have read. It’s really important to me that he has a foundation or some kind of canon of books he’s read, because I think that there are some books that change the world!
What books should EVERYONE have read, especially a boy who would not e.g. touch Anne of green gables?

Ah - it was also pointed out to parents that if your kids don't see you reading, but only watching tv and doom scrolling, it's not only hypocritical but its setting the wrong example. So if you want digital downtime, it needs to be family wide.
