The most uniquely written book was The Dead Fathers Club. I was proud of finishing Dracula. Surprised at how much I enjoyed Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The Shack was my least favorite. I know a lot of people love it but for me it was too far removed from my own beliefs.

How did you choose which books to read?
Most of the children's lit I hear about on The Well-Trained Mind Homeschool boards. I'm reading two series to the girls (Alex Rider and Percy Jackson and the Olympians), because I tend to like adventure stories. I call them "boy books."
I also try for classics. I guess I'm trying to join the great conversation.
