Re: What books (other than SF-F) do you consider "vital" reading? sarasedai Send a noteboard - 08/11/2009 04:19:18 PM
I would say that A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and Animal Farm by George Orwell should be on the list. For small children, I would say they need to read Cordoroy and The Berenstain Bears. I also loved the Mandy series and the American Girl series when I was little.

Such a bizarre mental image to an American. *NM* Ghavrel - 06/11/2009 01:41:14 AM 300 Views
I could not work out why it would be a bizarre image. Rebekah - 06/11/2009 03:27:26 PM 698 Views
