[quote=Anonymous]Not OP, but to the pp asking about Johnny Tremain—I loved that book! And also A Door in the Wall and Adam of the Road. I bought copies of all of these books second hand, and leave them around for my son. If he’s bored enough, he reads them too. It probably helps that I loved these books as a kid and re-read them even now, so my kids see me reading them too. DS 9 and I recently (re)-read the Redwall series together. He thinks it’s hilarious when I sneak into his room at night to finish a chapter when he’s still reading it. My younger son (DS 6) doesn’t enjoy this stuff nearly as much, so I don’t push it. If he wants to spend his efforts looking at Lego books, that’s ok. To me, this kind of esoteric reading is a hobby just like watching football or playing basketball. I don’t expect my kids to enjoy it just because I do. However, just like football fanatics, I do include them in my pastimes and let the kids decide if it’s something they want to pursue too.[/quote]
