Like most parents these days, I worry that my kids won't want to read much at all, or won't want to ready anything but garbage.
Imagine my surprise when my daughter asked to read our copy of "To Kill a Mockingbird" and has been having lengthy discussions about racism and the civil rights movement with Irish Woman.
Add to that the fact that she wants to get a copy of "The Diary of Anne Frank" and Little Bear wants to read it when she's done.
And knock me over with a feather when Little Bear asked for my copy of "Schindler's List" this morning when he told me about reading "The Devil's Arithmetic" in school.
I'm not sure if I can take credit for this, but I'm happy with the situation. Girlie Bear has already read both "Monster Hunter International" novels, and she's chomping at the bit to read "The Grimnoir Chronicles" with me. I think for their birthday this year they might be getting some Heinlein.
