ABQmom Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I want to make a list of books that I want my dd to read before she graduates. We will be doing TOG for high school. I'm thinking about books that she can read for free reading. Here are a few I've thought of: Stepping Heavenward Fallacy Detective (because we never got to it in JH) Jane Eyre (which I don't think is in the TOG line-up, and I love this book) A good book about dating (any suggestions? Christian perspective please) So, what do you want your dc to read before they leave your house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I'd suggest reading Anne Bronte's books. I don't have one list for all three dc, because they're all different. However, here are some samples of what my dc will read: The Republic of Love by Carol Shields (late high school, Canadian lit, not dark like most Canadian lit) The Tenant of Wildfell Hall Anne Bronte Don Quixote (my middle dd loved a kids' version; it's her kind of humour, but I didn't like it.) A Tale of Two Cities I will probably make all 3 of them read this one Never Cry Wolf Swimming to Antarctic they're all swimmers. This isn't lit, but interesting to those who swim, and comes under the biography/memoir category. Pride and Prejudice There are more, and probably some I want them to read even more than these, but I can't think of the titles off the top of my head most of the time, at least not all at once.

Hunter's Moon Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Pride and Prejudice Wuthering Heights - my favorite ! Fahrenheit 451 Macbeth Julius Caesar Romeo and Juliet A Raisin in the Sun The Three Theban Plays (many people skip Oedipus at Colonus and just do Oedipus the King and Antigone) Night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABQmom Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Check out this recent thread: http://welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=163026 Oh thank you! I was hoping someone might link a previous thread on this as I assumed it had been talked about before. I did do a search for such a thread, but didn't find what I was looking for. Keep the ideas coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
