Read Alert » Blog Archive » The full lists:
Earlier in the week, I posted three lists of ten books that children should read before they finish school. I have since discovered that there are in fact, seven lists. Here they are.
Judge of my amazement that Lemony Snicket isn’t on the list. Not that there’s anything wrong with them, but there is so much other stuff that might — just might — make the newer books that much more interesting.
I like Pullman’s list though I thought His Dark Materials was terrible, all the worse for how widely-praised it was.
And at what age does one drop Ulysses on their kid’s nightstand?
Definitely a list of lists to keep on hand.
