This is all subject to change. Nor do I expect everything on these lists to get read. Plus, the boys may be involved in a monthly book club, which would read books like Ender's Game, Childhood's End, Watership Down, etc. and where I find the selections worth it, I will modify their school reading so that they can participate in the book club. Plus, I see that we don't really have anything on the Holocaust ... and Connor would love to read biographies of the people involved in WWII.
Call it a reading list in progress :) But aren't they all?

Hi S! Just thought to check back in on your blog, and I loved reading what your boys are covering this year. :) Your reading lists are awesome...I was just making my own, and appreciated taking a look at yours. We've been focusing on American Literary Realism this year, and that's been going well, but I'm late in compiling some additional history resources as well. Right now we're devoting lots of time to the colonial period, and reading through Franklin's autobiography. Fun! Wishing you a very successful year!
