That's an excellent list. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 29/10/2009 11:43:49 AM
Those are the big ones, pretty much. I would never make my future children read anything they wouldn't want too, of course, but I have every intention of trying to instill an appreciation of good fantasy, starting with some of these, hah. It helps that my fiance pretty much loves them all, too.

Other possibilities include Harry Potter, Jane Yolen's The Pit Dragon Trilogy, The Last Unicorn, and some of Neil Gaiman's work.

And this better be a two-way street, damnit. If my kid isn't reading awesome literature and introducing me to it, then the deal's off.


Amen.
