Big Sci-fi/fantasy fan here! Was even part of a Pern facfic site. So definately McCaffrey(both of them!), LOVE Tad Williams, highly recommend Kristin Britains new Green Riders series, but I also like the old mystery romances by Mary Stewart.
Oh and I'm in charge of our church library too.

I make my kids read daily too. At the beginning of the year they whine about having to do it. By now most of them whine that I don't give them enough time. I like that whining much better. I can only spare so much in class time though.

VI jr, there are some awesome books about sports out there for teens. I have lots of athletes who "hate reading" until they get hole of Walter Dean Myers' Slam, or Hoops (those both happen to be about basketball).

Thanks EH, we'll give them a good look'n into. I think Jr. likes to read, but dislikes us making him read every night before going to bed. He does have a "little" stubborn streak in him. He of course get's that from his mum! hehehe But we will get him some of Myer's books and see if that helps.

Thanks again!

The books look scary - esp Slam - because they are not little baby books anymore, but the story is completely awesome (I read it 3 times) and all of my Basketball boys go gaga for it.

My bro has b.ball practice for 2hours every day so my life is to hectic to read for fun. although I should start sticking in some time if I get my H.W done in school and spend less time on the computer.
