What do people want their teenagers to read in school anyway?

That's a good question.

My 11 year old son loves to read. He likes the sci-fi stuff, but I have gotten him to read My Side of the Mountain, Island of the Dolphins, Johnny Turman and other classics that I read as a kid. I just bought him Ender's Game by Card that is awesome, although I might have to read it again to make sure there isn't anything unapropriate.

This is what I want high schoolers to be reading....



"This is a book that belongs on the bookshelf of every Catholic man, should be read by every Catholic boy (11 or older, I would say)" -Latin Mass Magazine

But they won't--because it mentions the "g" word.
