I've been trying LotR, he loved the Hobbit. Seriana Sedai Send a noteboard - 30/10/2009 05:39:27 AM
When the time comes, what fantasy and sci-fi series will you share with your children/nieces/nephews/random children/hypothetical children, since they all should be finished by then (then = X date in the future). Well, all except Martin's books, I suppose. ;)

Which will you make sure they read? Which would you tell them not to touch with a 10-foot pole?


Cam also wants to read WoT but I think it's still a little too adult for him.
Narnia for sure, the rest of Harry Potter (he quit when he read about the Inferi and hasn't started again), Earthsea...I'm sure I'm not remembering some but those stand out.
Alana will have the same recommended, but right now she's too busy chewing on her board books too think that far ahead! (She does like to read them too!)

Harry Potter is remarkably dark for bedtime story age, I think. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/10/2009 02:16:33 AM 597 Views
The first two not so much. Read them to my sister when she was 8. *NM* Rebekah - 30/10/2009 07:50:59 AM 581 Views
