When/if you have children, what would you encourage them to read?

(There's one below for SF-F books.)


I only know about girls :confused:

So, on the basis that we are better anyway, I will be recommending Laura Ingalls Wilder, Lucy Maud Montgomery and similar, to be followed by Austen and Bronte. Then they can read whatever they like. Oooh, and Roald Dahl. And Philippa Pearce. OK, the list is very very long.

What books (other than SF-F) do you consider "vital" reading? Rebekah - 29/10/2009 12:02:04 PM 817 Views

Re: Dude. How will they learn to read under the covers if I don't? *NM* Danae al'Thor - 30/10/2009 04:06:08 PM 370 Views
Wait, what? I only read under the covers when I was scared. *NM* rebelaessedai - 31/10/2009 05:46:13 AM 304 Views

Such a bizarre mental image to an American. *NM* Ghavrel - 06/11/2009 01:41:14 AM 284 Views
I could not work out why it would be a bizarre image. Rebekah - 06/11/2009 03:27:26 PM 639 Views
Precisely. I was wondering how the sheets wouldn't burst into flames. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/11/2009 06:54:49 AM 277 Views
