I have read almost nothing, and what I have read deals mainly with four-legged creatures with a penchant for dying on me. But E.-Age-Nine has read quite a bit, and this year I asked him to do something different. I asked him to keep a list of what he reads. I know he reads a lot, and I know he reads quickly {because I don’t allow him to spend too much time reading}. I know what books are available to him. But I’ve never known exactly what he’s been reading, nor which books he chooses to re-read {with the exception of Tolkien and Lewis, both of whom he’s been re-reading since he was six}.
So here is the Official List of what he’s read. I thought you all might find it interesting, especially if you are in need of books for boys around this age.
